Slow Printer response Photoshop Elements 2021

Hi, I have been using Photoshop Elements for some time without any problems. Recently I am experiencing problems with printing my projects. The print settings box is taking around 40 seconds to load and any changes to printer settings are taking an equal length of time to respond. I can see from earlier posts on the forum that this issue has been highlighted before and I have tried all the suggestions put forward to no avail. My PC is running Windows 10 x 64 and I am using a Canon all in one MG 3650 printer. I have tried setting up and printing projects using an old version of Photoshop Elements 2012 and this seems to be OK. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Two suggestions:

Check on the Canon web site to see if there is an updated driver for your printer.

If you are printing via the organizer, try printing via the editor,  or vice versa. The print engines are not the same.

Hi, Thank you for your prompt reply and suggestions. I now updated the Canon Printer Driver and, unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference. My problem is with printing via editor. When I print via organizer the response time is much faster as you suggested it might be. Does this point to a another possible problem area?

I doubt that this is indicative of other latent issues.

I assume that the response time is normal when you print via Paint, or Word.

Is your printer connected to the computer with a cable, or are you on a network?
