Hi again,
After a first restart, try restarting into Safe Mode. This runs a few more cleanup routines that are called at a normal restart. For a Safe mode restart, press restart, then as soon as you hear the startup chine, press and hold the shift key. When you see the Apple logo with a progress bar below it, release the shift key and let the restart finish. Instructions are for Macs with intel processors—see article linked below for Macs with Apple Silicon processor.

Launching Pages with the shift key down also runs some application specific routines not used in a regular launch.
Regards,
Barry

Not enough information to provide clues to a possible answer.
Can you provide a screen shot of the Print dialogue you see after pressing command-P?
To take a screenshot of part of the screen:
• Place the mouse pointer at the top left corner of the area to be captured.
• Press shift-command-4
(The pointer will change to a crosshair)
• Press and hold the mouse button and drag the crosshair to the bottom right corner of the area to be captured.
• When the selection rectangle holds the area you want to capture, release the mouse button.
(You'll hear a 'shutter click,' and the image will be saved as a file on your desktop, with the name Screen Shot, followed by the date and time the shot was taken.)
To insert an image in your post:
• Place the insertion bar at the point you want the image inserted.
(I usually press a return after the line of text I want above the image.)
• Click the 'two mountains' button, second from Right in the set below the message composition window.
(This will take you to a Finder window showing the files on your Desktop. If they are sorted by Date, descending from most recent, your screen shot should be at or very near the top of the list.)
• Double-click the Screen Shot's icon.
(The window will close, you;ll be taken back to your message, and after a short pause, the image will appear in your message.)
• Press return to start a new line below the image, and carry on.

thanks for answering - i finally 'solved' my issue by closing everything and restarting the computer a couple of times. seems to be an intermittent problem but today wasn't the first time it happened. sometimes has happened in numbers also.
when it happens again - i'll get back to you. thanks again
thanks for the reminder...i forget about safe mode. i'm saving your answer for the next time it happens.
