      Does Chrome (or Edge) behave better?

      Does Opera show correct printer in dialog box? Not in Opera, but I have seen erratic behavior in some other programs while using some not-so-printers, like third-party pdf converters or similar.

        @burnout426 yea basically. The print dialogue shows up like on chrome, but preview doesn't load, can't cancel or press anything. It just crashes

          @donq As far as I can tell, it seems to be an Opera issue.

            @gchen Regular Opera or Opera GX? What version of Windows and what version of Opera? Does it happen in a test standalone installation also?

                    It's now 28 May 2022. This problem still exists! My powerful Desktop PC runs up to date Windows 10. The browsers I use are: my default Opera, plus Chrome and Edge. All 3 browsers disappear from my desktop, when I press the print button in their browser's Print GUI - even Microsoft Edge!

                    My Work Around is to save, what I want to print, as a .pdf file, listed in the Destination drop-down menu. Then print the .pdf file. This surely is a Windows 10 problem!

                      @kodo-domino-nosaki Hello, for me that is not a Windows 10 problem. I use Linux Mint and this problem occurs since a very long time with Opera. There is no print problem with Chrome or Chromium on my desktop. I don't understand why the dev team dont correct it. I use Chromium now, but with regrets.

                        I corrected the problem with 2 actions :

                        1. rename the ".config/opera" folder in ".config/opera.old"
                        2. uninstall and reinstall opera

                            Hello

                            Same issue here, trying to print emails in gmail. The print dialog appears with "Loading preview...", I can see the three dots jump once and then it freezes. Does not recover. 😞

                            Chrome "freezes" too. There is this milk overlay but I can still see the three dots jumping. It then recovers after 20 seconds.

                            Unable to print any page.

                              @philou-69210 Problem resolved after renaming the ".config" in my home directory (in ".config.old"). But it's a lot of pains because all my applications have lost their configuration. So I had to move some application's directories one by one between ".config.old" and the new ".config" directory until they recover their datas I couldn't found where was located the Opera's configuration problem.
                              I had this problem with Opera Linux and not Windows.
