Key notes

“Mail will not print in windows 10. A box pops up that says “Nothing was sent to print. Open a document and print again.” Since my upgrade to Windows 10 I am unable to print an email from my Mail app to my printer. I can print to this printer from any other app including from the Edge Browser and I have even added it again from scratch to double-checkbut nothing prints. If I print whilst the print queue window is open I see the document momentarily hit the print queue but then disappears. Any ideas would be welcome.”
