    Please wait while the printer sends info. to Windows

    That's all Vista says when I print a photo. Why doesn't it see my default printer? I can download a third party viewer and print from it but it's a nuisance and I haven't found one I like.
    Anyone seen this or have any idea?

    Thanks
    Brian

    This the only printer you ever had installed or currently installed? If not then I would uninstall all printers/remove all print drivers/then try to reinstall the printer with the latest printer driver.

    That fixed it Raj I didn't think it would, that's why I hadn't tried it.
    Thanks

    Since you didn't include the details from the thread you hijacked, we really
    don't know what this "same problem" entails. Would you describe the problem
    please?

    Reinstalling the printer driver fixed it for me.
