Photoshop crashing on opening any file, trying to open printer.

[spencers80265762]

If I open any file, or create a new file I am immediately met with a "waiting for printer connection..." message, which it for some reason can not do. I am also not trying to print anything so not sure why it matters whether it can connect or not. I've unninstalled all printers, and reinstalled the one that I do use, and connected everything. I thought maybe it was the latest PS update, so I reverted to an older version and still the same problem. I'm running on windows 11.

Hi @spencers80265762, welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear you're running into trouble. As a first step, could you try resetting your Photoshop preferences? That’ll return things to the default setup in case something behind the scenes got a bit off.
Here’s how to do it: https://adobe.ly/42WIaEe
If you can't open Photoshop at all, you'll need to do the manual method.


Let me know how it goes!

Thank you for the suggestion Alek,

Unforunately it still asks me the same thing, and then crashes.
