Windows 10 & 11 new print dialog for print preview

Windows 10 & 11 have a new print dialog that has a print preview section.
The preview will not show any preview. the preview function is a Microsoft function and not within our control. 
if your printer drivers were able to show a preview previously, use the 'More settings' option to go to your printer driver's print preview.


If you want to go back to using the old print dialog,
you can run the following command in a command prompt. 
Note this for all of Windows as this setting is a Windows-level setting.
  1. reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Print\UnifiedPrintDialog" /v "PreferLegacyPrintDialog" /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f

This is the RegEdit string to search if you want to change the setting manually
  1. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Print\UnifiedPrintDialog
Change the Dword value 
1 to use the old style
0 to use the new style
