- Outlook saves its print settings in the Outlprnt file. Deleting the file can help fix print issues.
- Sometimes, Outlook plugins and extensions can interfere with the printing. Removing them can help you fix the issue.
- Ensure the email is completely downloaded before you can print it.
Try Basic Fixes:
- Restart Outlook: When Outlook relaunches, it loads all the modules, including extensions. This ensures that if Outlook or any of its modules are stuck, they will start working.
- Reset hardware connection : Powering off a printer might clear temporary issues, such as a print job stuck in the queue or a minor error.
- Update the Outlook app: If the Outlook app and Windows settings are out of sync, especially after a Windows update, check if an update is available for the app.
