We would need the stuff that Yer_Man says to figure out what's going on. In addition, where did printing stop working? When you select a picture and choose File>Print (or ⌘P) do you get the print dialog, like this?

In the upper right (the red circle), does it have the name of your printer?


In the figure, I have already pressed the Print button (red arrow) and gotten the next dialog box. Does that happen for you? Does it correctly identify your printer (green circle)? If I were printing to a printer, I would hit the Print button here when the menu shows "Open in Preview" to get the final print dialog. But even if you don't have a printer connected (or it doesn't recognize it), you may be able to print to a PDF file. Can you choose "Save as PDF?"


Where in this process does it breakdown? Which button doesn't work for you?
