Printers won't print photos from my computer

A few months ago I could print photos or any text from my computer. Then all of a sudden a month or so ago I couldn't get the computer to print photos from itself. I then changed to another printer and it worked for only a couple of times ,then it also wouldn't print photos. I very seldom print text but someone on here said something about whether it printed text or not. They also said to try re installing the printer. I did reinstall and it still won't print photos from the computer but will print text. Iv'e tried going through different places to print but makes no difference. It says it's printing but the printer won't do anything. This also happens on my laptop. Could it be Vista screwing with things?Could I have missed a download? My husbands laptop works fine with the same printers.

    Hello 

    I've recently investigated this problem with printers,and all you have to do is go into your printer settings and do an UPDATE and you will find this will solve the problem.

    Thank you.

    In your printer settings select (Print Direct to Printer) it worked for me first time

    Hi all!

    Damn I read all of this ****!

    Haha do this do that,

    What i figured out to do is following!

    DO DISCARD THE WSD:port..

    Go to printersettings

    --> choose your printer DIRECT IP instead. Your local IP for the printer 192.168.1. something

    Rusty nail, I can't bear to read this thread any further.  You need a native English speaker!  I understand what you are saying, but clearly Amiroof doesn't.  I hope you got an answer on another board.  I am now experiencing the same problem that starting when I loaded Adobe XI which created a bunch of problems for me and now I can't print any image files.

    Sorry about my miss understanding, I am just trying to be helpful.

    Here is another thing to check or try:

    Go to Start Menu then click on Devices and Printers then find your printer and select it then right click on it then go to Printer Properties then go to Ports tab then make sure that the "Enable Bidirectional Support " check box is checked or try re enabling it then go to advanced tab, then check the check boxes for "Print Spooled documents first" and "Enable Advanced Printing Features".

    Also make sure that the "Always available", "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster" and "Start printing immediately" options are selected.

    Then in the same tab click on Print Processor... button then in Default data type, make sure RAW is selected.

    Hope this one helps!
