When I try to print e mails from Thunderbird on some occasions the only option I get when I press Print is to Save as PDF. If I restart the Print Spooler in Windows 11 it then gives me the Print Options in the dialogue box. It seems as if Thunderbird is causing the Print Spooler to stop. All other functions for documents and spreadshets, PDF documents print fine

Hi, Clearing the print settings did not seem to change the situation

If there is a reproducible print issue using the newest 115.3.0, please file a bug report with a testcase email attached to the bug report. Thanks.

Hi The spooler seems to stop randomly. Even with the same e mail sometimes it will print and sometimes it won't. I am sorry that I can't send a specific example which always fails. Is it possible that there is a setting somewhere in Thunderbird which is causing my problem. Microsoft support have done many checks over the last 2 weeks and are convinced that Thunderbird is somehow causing the print spooler to stop.
