Can't print excel or word files since upgrading to windows 10

[jim crowl]

I recently upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10. I can no longer print word or excel files since the upgrade yet the printer works fine, other files such as from Acrobat Reader print fine. When I print something flickers on the screen but too fast to read, and the job does not show up in my print q. The troubleshooter shows everything is working fine. I have tried printing new files and old archived files and nothing prints in Excel, yet the program otherwise works fine. What can I try to resolve this?

I was having the same problem. Go in to your device settings--printers. You will find a device called the microsoft journal writer. Delete it.

I had the same problem and found a solution. It and it turned out to be permissions on my Temp folder. Make sure the users have full permissions on the temp folder. Before I changed the permission I first made sure I had Full administration rights as per this link http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/12/how-to-enable-the-hidden-windows-10-administrator-account/ Then I went into the folder properties and security and gave full access to users.
