I'm running Big Sur. Today the computer shuts down each time i try to print something on either of the two printers.

Why is this happening? How to fix it?

"Print" Crashes Apps in Ventura 16.2 Since upgrading from Monterey to Ventura 16.2 (18614.3.7.1.5) on my iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020, 128 GB memory: Whenever I type cmd-P or select "Print" from the "File" menu -- in MOST applications -- that application crashes: Safari, Graphic Converter, Preview. Or, if I "Open in Preview" from the "Print" window. Some apps that DON'T crash when I "Print:" Stickies, Brave Browser, Firefox (but I get a print error message in Firefox, and can't print). I had no problems at all like this when I was using Monterey or previous MacOS's. Troubleshooting steps: 1) These crashes DO occur in Safe Mode. 2) I've successfully run Disk Utility from Recovery Mode. 3) I've reinstalled Ventura 16.2, with no change. 4) I've run the full suite of Onyx Maintenance utilities. 5) I've reset NVRAM. 6) I've reset the SMC. 7) These crashes DO NOT occur in a Test account. Of course, I'll continue to bang my head against the iMac -- but in the meantime, any thoughts, or solutions? Thanks in advance.

If this is new behavior please try restarting in Safe Mode ( Safe Mode Reset ) and then restart normally and test. If the problem continues we will likely ask that you post a EtreCheck report of your system.
