When I try to print any page from Chrome on my Windows 7 machine, I get the following message.
click to enlargeBy the way, the gray text in the middle reads
Google Chrome cannot show the print preview when the built-in PDF viewer is disabled. In order to see the preview please visit chrome//plugins/, enable the Chrome PDF Viewer, and try again.
When I check my plugins, I find that Chrome PDF Viewer is already enabled. Why can't I print?

Are you getting this problem on any webpage or just PDFs? – mischab1 – 2012-01-26T18:43:10.627
1I am getting this problem on any web page I visit. I was trying to print google.com in this example. – David Faux – 2012-01-26T19:39:42.743
Disabling the built-in PDF viewer isn't giving me any error messages when I try to print on WinXP. I'll test on Win7 this evening. Also, I notice your screen print has an empty Destination drop-down box. What happens if you try to select your printer? – mischab1 – 2012-01-26T22:16:37.157
Thank you, when I try to select a printer, no options appear in the list. However, I do have my printer hooked up since I can print from Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer. – David Faux – 2012-01-26T22:35:28.950
1OK, I've tried it from home now also. Win7 64 bit with Chrome 16.0.912.75 m. Disabling the built-in PDF viewer doesn't cause me any problem with print preview. I think your problem is really the the missing printers. I don't have any suggestion for that other than to uninstall & reinstall Chrome. :-( – mischab1 – 2012-01-28T06:58:55.287
Do you still have this issue? – Der Hochstapler – 2012-05-19T13:03:01.447
I have the same issue. I did not have this problem until recently. My printers are alive and well. The plugin is enabled. I am not trying to print a PDF but a webpage. Chrome gives the error described above... – Malkocoglu – 2014-05-14T09:44:46.640
