[SOLVED] My Canon Pixma Pro-100 problems

[jrw6core]

Im having trouble printing. I see my printer is recognized , but I dont get a preview page like I did in Win 7. When I want to print an invoice or whatever, I click print and it just happens. I cant set anything before it prints. What happened to the preview? What am I doing wrong. Win 7 was intuitive, everything worked and settings were easy. Win 10 is slowly wearing me down.

Windows 10 is a bit cumbersome sometimes. (Understatement conceded.)

One thing that often proves helpful is the "Type here to search box".

Type in "Printer" and at some point there should be Printers & Scanners option available. Likely blue colored box and just needs to be clicked.

Your printer(s) should be listed.

Left-click your printer and there should be a Manage button somewhere. Click it.

That should lead to another screen with "Printer Preferences" and a "Print preview" checkbox.

Select and apply.

------

Overall, using the "Type here to search" is a good way to find your way/navigate around within Windows 10.

Just take your time and pay attention to the options presented as you type the search words.

Explore accordingly.

No need to immediately start changing things or making choices. Use "cancel" anytime you get somewhere that you are not sure about. Back out and start over.

One pitfall - sometimes Windows will launch Bing and bombard you with websites. Especially if "Help" is involved.

Im guessing your real name is "Yoda". It's like you were reading my mind.
Let me just say thanks, Sometimes folks give advice based on what they "Learned or read somewhere" . You speak as though you have been where I'm at with Windows 10. I was a Win 7 Pro holdout. I waited until 2 days before the deadline before doing a Fresh Install on a new SSD hard drive.
It's been frustrating to say the least.
Thank you very much Ralston18. I really do appreciate your advice. ;-)
