Can't print emails from windows live mail 2011

Frustrating!

Windows Live Mail 2011 is an older email client, and it's not uncommon to encounter issues with printing emails. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you print emails from Windows Live Mail 2011:

  1. Check the print settings: Go to File > Print > Print Settings. Ensure that the printer is selected and the print quality is set to "High" or "Best". You can also try changing the print settings to "Draft" or "Low" to see if it makes a difference.
  2. Update your printer drivers: Outdated printer drivers can cause printing issues. Go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest printer drivers for your printer. Install the drivers and restart your computer.
  3. Disable printer spooling: Sometimes, printer spooling can cause issues with printing. To disable printer spooling, go to Start > Run (or press the Windows key + R), type "services.msc", and press Enter. In the Services window, find the "Print Spooler" service, right-click on it, and select "Stop". Then, restart your computer.
  4. Check for printer conflicts: If you have multiple printers installed, it's possible that there's a conflict between them. Try uninstalling one of the printers and see if it resolves the issue.
  5. Use the "Print" button in the email: Instead of using the "Print" option from the menu, try clicking the "Print" button in the email itself (usually located at the top-right corner of the email window). This might bypass any issues with the menu option.
  6. Try printing a test page: Print a test page from the printer settings (Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right-click on the printer > Print Test Page). If the test page prints successfully, it might indicate an issue with the email client or the email itself.
  7. Check for email client updates: Windows Live Mail 2011 is an older email client, and Microsoft has discontinued support for it. You might want to consider upgrading to a newer email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.
  8. Try printing in a different format: If you're trying to print an email with attachments, try printing it in a different format, such as PDF or HTML. You can do this by clicking the "Print" button and selecting the desired format from the "Print" dialog box.
  9. Reset Windows Live Mail settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting Windows Live Mail settings to their default values. To do this, go to File > Options > Advanced, and click the "Reset" button at the bottom of the window.
  10. Seek further assistance: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to seek further assistance from Microsoft Support or a Windows Live Mail community forum.

I hope these troubleshooting steps help you resolve the issue and print your emails successfully from Windows Live Mail 2011!
