====================================
No guarantees...but I think I would try
uninstalling / reinstalling the printer...

And there's a slight chance that renaming
or deleting the PhotoGallery database
would make an improvement.

This database named "Pictures.pd4" is
found at the following location.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4

The file can also be found with an Advanced
Search for pd4.

Go to...Start / Search / Advanced Search.

Check the box..."Include non-indexed, hidden,
and system files" Enter pd4 in the Name field
and left click the Search button.

If you right click / rename the file to: Pictures.OLD
the gallery will create a new Pictures.pd4 the
next time it is launched.
