This may or may not be a solution for everyone.Įssentially what I discovered is that Windows Photo Viewer was using a separate Printing Preferences page from the one you would encounter from Devices and Printers. I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I encountered this while trying to research this issue, and after hours of struggling I finally figured it out. I am going to escalate it to Microsoft and see what they propose as a solution. It is also possible that Windows 7's system file checker could restore the original file and cause the problem again. This worked for me! This is a bonafied Windows 7 bug! Thank you matambanadzo! I am concerned that the XP version will cause compatibility problems at some point in the future so I am not ready to make this change to all the workstations Brings up a wizard which allows me to print similiar sizes of photos. I renamed it with an 'dlx' extension and then copied a version 5.1 photowiz.dll to system32 and the print wizard works again! The site I got the file from is: I found an older version of this file, had to change the attributes and permissions of the file to allow it to be changed. I believe it is a problem with the 'photowiz.dll' file in system32.
forgot to post it back here for you guys.
