Are you having problems printing from Outlook? Try deleting the OutlPrnt file – it's kept in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook in Windows 7 and newer. This file holds information about print configurations and customizations.
You can jump to the folder where OutlPrnt is, open Windows Explorer then type or paste
%appdata%\Microsoft\outlookinto the address bar of Windows Explorer and press Enter to open the folder where OutlPrnt is.
It's safe to delete it, outlook will recreate it the next time you edit the Print Options. You will lose any custom print settings you previously changed.

Wow thanks so much!! It solves my problem.
Hi, Recently upgraded to Outlook 2013; always been able to print from 2010. Now when I hit print or cntrl P. out look crashes and I have to manually re-start it. I am having to copy and past to word. Weird but the attachments print from the email just fine.
Find and delete outlprnt file. Open Windows Explorer, type or paste %appdata%Microsoftoutlook into the address bar of windows explorer and press Enter. Delete outlprnt and see if it works better.
Thanks a lot...it solved my problem
@Johnzo Outlook has been able to print since I was a kid, you must be doing it wrong. It just has a lot of problems with it, but theirs always a workaround.
@Liam Go to print and double click memo style. Under the page tab verify they are both set to letter, and not custom. Often restarting outlook fixes it, as well. Theirs also a specific update that can cause this you can delete and block. Dont remember which one but a quick google search should get it.
outlook 2010 shuts down upon printing and restarts. i have deleted the outlprnt file but that did not help.
