Why can't I print in Google Chrome
When I try to print in Google Chrome it says "Loading Preview" and just hangs there. Up to this week it has been printing fine. What can a technophobe like me do?
Solution 1:
Chrome updated last week. There are numerous reports of such behavior. From the Google Chrome forum dated Aug 3rd...
The team has identified the issue and is working on a fix. In the meantime, you can try these solutions:
- Installing either the XPS Essentials Pack, NET 3.0 or NET 3.5 should resolve the issue (note: make sure to restart Chrome after installing)
- Use "Save as PDF" or Google Cloud Print printers
- Use the local system dialogue-- either by clicking the system link in print preview or using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows
Solution 2:
If someone else is getting this, what helped me was quite simple.
I've setup Google cloud printing today, and had the "Loading preview" issue as well.
It turns out that a simple restart to both chromes (on the printer-connected computer, and the client computer).
Make sure you really restart chrome and not just the visible window (you can make sure by restarting the computer).
