Can't print with Canon 4100 from imaged partition

Printing with my Canon 4100 printer on a partition on my Samsung 850 SSD works fine, but when I've imaged the drive with Macrium Reflect and restored to my NVMe drives, I get an error in Lightroom Classic saying the Print module can't be found and to re-install the driver.

Clearly this is strange as it's a imaged version of my OS on the same system. I tried printing from another software program and got the same message. I uninstalled Lightroom Classic, shut down the computer, re-started and re-installed Lightroom Classic and still the same.

I called Canon and we checked some Services and some settings in the printer driver, but still same.

I'm out of ideas. I thought of doing a clean install of the OS on the drive, but that didn't work, because I can't install a new version of the OS on other drives! See that thread here

Thanks,

Reid

What happens when you print to pdf. Same error message?

I'm sure that's fine. I have other printer on the system and they work fine. I think I'll do a clean install of Win 10 (11 is buggy) and see if that works. Perhaps I'm being paranoid and I just like to have two versions of my OS to boot from, but guess I can always re-install the image on the drive that works.


Thanks,

If I understand well, you have in fact a dual boot system with booting either from OS1 or from OS2 (as I have too).
In such a system it is necessary to disable in both OS1 and OS2 fast start-up.
Go to System>Power&Sleep>additional power settings>choose what the power buttons do>change settings that are currently unavailable>fast start-up. When it is turned on (default), turn it OFF.
After disabling, I am convinced your problem is solved.

Yes, dual boot system, but not seeing the settings your referencing. I don't see power and sleep and the setting I did find are under Hardware. Please re-direct.

In your picture I see "change settings that are currently unavailable". Just click on that and you are there.

then I get this:

It is late here, so tomorrow I will show my screenshot, where the option is available.
Maybe have a look at this:
Fixed: “Turn on fast startup” Option Missing In Windows 10 Settings

But your saying to turn it off? I think mine doesn't show because I ran a reg hack to turn off hibernation

as promised:


I cannot help you to find out why fast start-up is missing. It is important since I think what happens in your situation is when putting off the PC, system data/driver data are stored for a fast start-up. But in a dual boot, you have to prevent that these data are read by the other OS.

Still a question:
How proceeds starting up the PC? There are two possibilities. The first is that the OS selection is immediately after the BIOS start in a black screen. The second is that after the BIOS start, Windows starts and that the selection takes place in a blue Windows screen (Metro bootloader). I would always go for the first possibility.
