Can not get to the print screen with Photoshop CS6 (63 Bit)

I have been using Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) for a long time now and have never had any issues with it until this morning.

This morning when I went to try and print something from it, it immediately closed.

It will not even make it to the print options. As soon as I hit the CTRL +P the program closes.

I thought that it was just a quirk so I rebooted the computer and tried it again. However that did not fix the problem.

I even went into Photoshop and Reset All Warning Dialogs with no luck.

I tried printing with the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS6 and it will print. That means that it is something to do with the 64 bit version.

It was working yesterday.

Can anyone, please help me?

Hold the spacebar + Print. This clears all print metadata stored in the file. It may be things like conflicting printer information.

An alternative is to copy the file content into a new file and try to print that.

If I hold the spacebar and + Print, it selects the Pen tool.

I did create a new file and copied the layers over and it worked.

I don't know why that worked?

The only problem with copying the layers over to the new file was that I don't know of a way to copy my Guides over too.

Is there a way to copy my guides over to the new file?

I meant going to the Photoshop file menu and selecting Print - as you hold the spacebar.
