Print/Print Preview/Page setup all blank

About a week ago (I wasn't having the issue prior to this) I stopped being able to print e-mails off. All the fixes I have found seem to relate to changing the printer, or the margins. When I click "Page setup", it too comes up blank. Moving the mouse down it creates three black rectangular boxes. Some weird error for sure.

No matter which printer I pick (even XPS print) it comes out blank in the preview and the page prints blank. I am able to print fine from other Windows programs, so the issue seems to be isolated with Thunderbird.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Have tried to reset all printer settings via clearing the print-related section of the prefs.jf file. No joy.

Curiously, printing to a generic text printer. . . works fine. Page Setup is back and works fine, but TB still won't print to XPS, PDF or standard printers.

Any ideas?
