Print preview Issue

Since upgrading to Windows 11 -

I try to print a document and the print preview box hangs for 2-5 minutes on all applications. It will finally come up and default to save to pdf even though I have a printer marked as default. It is almost as if it is searching for a printer and looks and looks then goes to save to pdf. At that point I can change it to my printer and it prints fine. VERY FRUSTRATING in that I it takes so long to simply print a document. Seems to be worse in outlook. HELP!

    Did you reinstall the latest printer driver? Check If the firmware is available for your printer model means, then flash the firmware to printer

    Also, update the latest office suites

    Visit that printer maker to install full feature software and follow the prompts to connect your printer.

    It would appear that you are relying on the win default drivers
