In May of 2024, a Google Chrome update changed the way that the Print Preview works and this affected certain Windows 10 users. There is a workaround that allows you to skip the print preview screen and go straight to the Windows print dialog screen, Here is how to fix this.


  1. Copythis text below
    --disable-features=PrintCompositorLPAC
  2. Locate the Shortcut (on the Desktop) that you click to open Google Chrome
  3. Right-click on this shortcut
  4. Click Properties
  5. Locate the Target and the part ending in chrome.exe"
  6. Pasteafter this  (note there is a space after the chome.exe") It should now look like this:

  7. Click OK
  8. Close Google Chrome
