In the last week I have finally (and reluctantly) moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I am using LR 9.1 with with two Canon Pro 100 printers. I have noticed with some consternation that there no longer seems to be a Print Preview option in the Printer set up button and windows. This option allowed me to see how the print would be placed on the paper before committing to printing it. This capability has saved me from making printing errors a number of times, particularly when specifying non-standard print sizes.

Has anyone else noticed this lack of a Print Preview option which used to be there? If so, what gives? Is there a way I can get this back. By the way, I seem to be printing with a Windows 10 driver instead of a Canon driver now. Could this be the culprit, although I see that Canon does not offer a driver specifically for Windows 10 and the drivers on their website last updated in 2016.

Appreciate any thoughts or experience anyone might have on this issue.

Yup! It was for me when I changed computers.

Thank you for your replies. It turns out that bsprague was correct, although I finally figured this out on my own. I was printing with the windows 10-supplied driver. When I reinstalled the Canon Pro 100 using the drivers on the original disk, I was able to see the printing choices I had come to rely on in Windows 7. Happy day. Also, I'm happy to report that after three days of work, including two misguided attempts to uprgade a windows 7 installation with terrible results, I finally decided on a clean install of Windows 10. So far I am pleased with results, one of which is that the boot speed is for all intents and purposes as fast as my previous Windows 7 was. My boot drive is a Samsung 256 ssd drive. This machine, which I built almost three years ago, has 16 gigs of ram, an intel i7 processor, and a 2 gig nvidia Gtx 750 ti graphics card. Not a blockbuster high end rig, but I don't play games, so find this higher middle ground outfit to be for me a blessed sweet spot between performance and price. I think I spent about $1100 on it. I couldn't be happier with it as a robust workhorse for LR and PS which I use on the subscription service. And as long as I'm doling out praise and reports of satisfaction here, let me say that I have been extremely well served by Adobe's technical support over the years I've been a subscriber.

"turns out that bsprague was correct"

There you go! I love it when I'm right.
