Cannot select Printer other than Default

I am using TB 60.4.0 (32-bit) on a Window 10 (64-bit) OS. My problem is that TB always prints to my default printer on my computer. There is no printer selection dialog box that pops up. It just goes straight to the default printer. Is there a setting that anyone knows of that I can toggle in the config settings or the registry? I hesitate to install the 64 bit version because it is still in testing at this time. Thank you in advance.

sflowers,

I did find an entry (print.always_print_silent) that showed it had been modified (maybe some other program or printer when installed) that I changed the setting to "False" instead of "True".

Now I have the print dialog box that allows me to choose which printer I want to use.

Thank you very much for your help!

sfhowes,

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I do not get a print window (choose printer dialog box) initially when I either select File/Print or use the keystrokes (Ctl+P). It just directly prints to my windows default printer.

Maybe if I knew what name to use for the select printer dialog box, I could enter that in the Config Editor for print_printer?

Thanks again.

Sfhowes,

Thanks again for helping me. All my other programs provide the print window. TB is the only one that prints directly to my default printer.

Interesting enough, this same TB printing problem did the same thing last year on my old Windows 7 (64bit) laptop too as it is doing on my new Windows 10 (64bit) laptop. That is why I'm thinking it may be an issue using the 32 bit version on a 64bit system?

I would think there would be a switch either in the registry or in the config settings that could correct this.

I appreciate you trying to help me. Thank you.
