Cannot print from outlook 2016.

Hello,

I have been with the support team multiple times and we still cannot figure out why I cannot print from my Outlook App.

We have tried resetting the print spooler, updating Outlook, updated any and all drivers on my computer, temp files seem to be fine with full permissions on my account. I am kind of at my wits end with this, the only way i can print is by emailing the documents to my printer, and that is such a waste of paper because i really only need to print to PDF most of the time, but it will not function.

My printer works with every other application, and it will print from outlook when open in a web browser.

I have noticed that my outlook is a 32-bit version running on 64-bit windows, and while i have read that is should function and have no issues in this configuration I am curious if the smaller memory available in the 32-bit version could be causing my issues?

grasping at straws here but I don't know what else we can do.

Please hellp!!!!

    Hi, I am receiving the same issue using a Lenovo. It is only happening on selected emails and it gives the error "printer not ready". 

    I cannot print to pdf or our Kyocera printers hence I don't think it is related to a specific printer brand. 

    I have the latest Win OS patch installed 1803 (17134.137). I have removed and readded the local profile and have also tried providing a new laptop with a fresh install (same OS). I have created another user profile with full local admin access on the problematic machine and still get the same issue. 

    I test all the same on a laptop with version 1709 and it works. 

    Any other ideas?

    Nick

    Hi TH2018,

    For this issue, I suggest you try to perform a clean boot in Windows and see if it helps.

    Meanwhile, you can also contact the HP support team and see what suggestions they will provide you.

    Regards,

    Huni

    Honestly I don't know if i have tried that before or not, but it still does not want to print after being run as an administrator.

    I checked permissions and it was set to read only, however when i change permissions there appears to be no change. The windows account i use has full permissions, however the %temp% folder was set to read only. I took that away and saved, but when i go back to check it is still set to read only.

    Not sure if that is the cause of my problems, but it seems like windows 10 will not allow me to change the permissions. Regardless of the fact that i have administrator privileges.

    Any Ideas?
