I am not able to print anything from Opera for a while. Always getting the message 'print preview failed'.
Also, 'Save as PDF' not working!
I have completely uninstalled Opera, downloaded new setup and installed a brand new Opera, still the same.

Printing works great with Firefox, word and every other applications.

Mine is Windows 11, on a HP Laptop.

Please help me fix this. Thanks!

@leocg Thanks again for the reply.

I dont know what flags are.

I have reset Opera to default settings, but no luck!
Infact, this is a brand new installation as I mentioned earlier.

@leocg I guess this must be a bug and there are no cure so far?

@sanjurams-0 I'm not able to reproduce it here, let's see if someone else has the same issue and post some information here.

In Windows settings, what is the default printer for you? If it is Adobe PDF (like your screenshot shows), then select some other printer, restart Opera and try again.

@leocg I am having the same exact issue - hasn't been working for months at this point. I love opera, just would love an opportunity to actually get my printing capabilities back up and running on this browser!!

I changed it multiple times, with all available printers. Restarted Opera, restarted Windows, but nothing is working!

@sanjurams-0 I'm in the same boat hoping it can get fixed, otherwise I'm considering swapping back to Chrome because I know that works for me.

I had the same issue. I checked my printer list and had one printer installed which is not in use anymore. After remove it that printer preview works again.
Please check if there is no document in some printers queue and remove it as well.

@sanjurams-0 I've had the same problem lately using the Portable version of Opera with multiple profiles. The main profile works for printing, but if I specify a non-default location for the profile and start Opera from the command line with something like this:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "start App\Opera\opera.exe --user-data-dir=..\..\Data\user-data-dir\Work"

The printing process does not work for that profile.

I've tried creating a new blank profile, but same printing problem.
