401 error when printing

Hello,   In the last couple of months when I'm trying printing from the browser I'm getting the 401 error. Tried incognito mode, cleared cache but the problem still persists.   Thank you.

Can you walk us through the exact steps you take that result in this error as well, Stathis?

 

Also, is this for your own files or shared ones?

    Download & install Opera Beta
    Log into Dropbox and open a file that is not shared
    Click on the print button of the browser and new tab opens with the error.

    The same behavior is also on Microsoft Edge.

      Hi stathis125, are you previewing a file while attempting to print it out?

       

      Are you clicking the print button in the preview window itself, or the print button in your browser toolbar?
