I'm running a brand new PC with Windows 11. I've installed Thunderbird 137.0.1 (64-bit). I'm a seasoned user (previously on Windows 10). If I view an attachment it will display a PDF in a new mail tab like I am used to, however when I click the Print button my printer spits out a blank page. If I save the same PDF to Windows then open the file in another program (like Chrome) then it prints there without any problem.
