Snipping tool Wrong labels

Question

In snipping tool for the default printer of the systems choice specifically for some reason only then does the options for portrait and landscape flipped flop. This is an odd occurrence would love help.

Answer 1

you should first flush the application's cached print configurations. Open your Windows Settings, navigate to Apps, and select Installed Apps. Scroll down to the Snipping Tool, click the graphical dots to access Advanced options, and execute a Reset. Next, you must address the driver itself by visiting your printer manufacturer's official support website. Look for and install a V4 architecture printer driver for your specific model rather than a standard or legacy V3 driver. V4 drivers are explicitly engineered by Microsoft and OEM partners to communicate flawlessly with the Universal Windows Platform print dialog.

If the manufacturer does not offer a modernized V4 driver for your printer model, you can bypass this bug entirely using a built-in virtual printer. Navigate to Windows Settings, select Bluetooth & devices, and open Printers & scanners. Set Microsoft Print to PDF as your default printer. Because this virtual driver is natively built by Microsoft, the Snipping Tool will read its orientation flags perfectly, displaying the correct labels. When you are ready to print your snip, you simply select your physical printer from the drop-down menu at the very last second, which completely avoids the default driver initialization conflict.
