    Hi there,

    That should not be happening, let us help make this right.


    As you're getting the print error in Photoshop Elements 12, could you please try choosing "print" while holding the spacebar; this discards any saved values. Also, make sure the correct printer it set as default.

    Let us know if it helps.
    Regards,

    Hi thanks but when I hold space bar and print nothing happens.  If I purchased a newer version of element would that solve my problem

    Try a different printer driver.
