A few days ago, I finally updated windows live essentials 2011 to the windows essentials 2012. Since then, I have been unable to print any images from either photo gallery or from the windows photo viewer. Documents print without a problem. 

Things I have tried

1. deleting the 2012 and going back to 2011

2. made sure that everything is running on the latest versions/drivers.. this includes my printer

3. ran the sfc and nothing was found there

4. stopped and restarted the spooler successfully

5. printer scan shows that everything is installed correctly and should print (it prints everything but images from the 2 programs)

6. made sure that none of the parameters on the gallery and viewer had  been changed and none of the parameters on the printer have been changed.

Are there any other things to try?
