I cannot print emails or their attachments from thunderbird. Why all of a sudden?

I cant print from thunderbird. I can save attachments into my documents and it will then allow me to print from there, but it just wont print anything from thunderbird .... emails, attachments or even emails that I have saved elsewhere e.g. in documents? What happened and how can I fix it?

This is how to reset the printer settings:

  1. In Thunderbird, go to Tools - Options.
  2. Under Advanced, on the General tab, click on the Config Editor button.
  3. Scroll down to the line starting with print.print_printer. If you don't have that line, then everything should already be set correctly.
  4. Right-click on the print.print_printer line & choose Reset.
  5. Close the configuration window, then click OK to close the Options window.
  6. Close Thunderbird.
  7. Make sure that the correct default printer is selected. To do so, go to Start - Settings - Printers and Faxes. The one with the small # checkmark is the default. To set a different printer as the default, right-click on it & choose Set as Default Printer.
  8. Reopen Thunderbird.
