Print email get error "Failed to change settings"

[AC Question]

I used to have no problem printing emails to my Brother printer using Brother printer plug in. Now get the failed to change error. Sometimes it locks up my email and have to restart my Samsung tab E to clear it. Does anyone have the answer?

You can try to downgrade Android System WebView (reset it to a factory version). The following steps can be done on Galaxy phones for that:
· Go to Settings->Application manager
· Touch More button and select “Show system apps”
· Open Android System WebView
· Touch Disable button (and touch Disable or OK or Agree in each popup)
· Touch Enable button.
Also auto update of Android System WebView should be disabled (it can be done in Play Store )
For me I just chose "uninstall updates" & it worked after that I didn't have to disable & re enable

Thank you for outlining this method! I came across this from a Google search while looking for a solution for my Dad's Samsung Note 3. This worked perfectly!

THANK YOU!! after endless hours of trying to find a fix. I can now print once again from 2 galaxy s7 phones and a tablet. This works perfectly! Five Gold Stars To You.

I just got sn upgrade software for 5g. I tried to Uninstall Chrome and all I could do was disable it. So not the problem. Took advise and updated Samsung webview and that fixed issue
