Unable to print through Photoshop Elements - the default printer could not be opened

[#1]

I have a HP Office Jet Pro 8730 Printer that I have just reinstalled as I was trying to fix this printing problem. The problem existed before I reinstalled the printer but when I try and print a picture or anything from my adobe Photoshop I get a message saying - "Because the default printer could not be opened". Any Ideas????

Hi there,

Would you mind confirming the version of Photoshop Elements you are using along with the operating system you are working on? Have you installed the latest printer drivers from HP's website?
