Windows xp sp3

make a shortcut to a picture; "left click" and it opens the picture
with irfanview.

"right click" pull down 'preview' and the picture opens with
"Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".

"right click" pull down 'print' and the print window opens
with MS "Photo Printing Wizard" but shows NOTHING!

I would like to make a collection of shortcuts and then print those
pictures (without making copies of the pictures).
How can that be done?

What sort of "pictures"?
It works for me, though MS "Photo Printing Wizard" is a bit of a pain
to use. Perhaps installing Irfanview has changed something?
Look in Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types
In the Advanced setting for .jpg under the printto action, I have:

Application used to perform action:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Application:
shimgvw

I am talking about "shortcuts" (links) to JPG files.

Under Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types
I could not see an "Advanced setting".

From a shortcut the print wiz opens but has no options
as it would if I opened it with the picture file itself.

Sorry, I missed the significance of the shortcut bit.

You can't print a shortcut with Photo Printing Wizard
You have to print the picture itself.
Try using something else to print.
You have Irfanview. Try that.
In the Thumbnails window, you can select many images/files and use the
menu Print selected files as single images.

Look again at Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types.
Navigate to .JPG and you should see Advanced.

Ok, that's good to confirm.

I'm giving that a shot - it just might work.

Guess what? As I navigate TO "JPG" I see the "Advanced" button,
but once I select the "JPG" the button Changes(!) to "Restore".

So, yes, Irfanview made some changes.

Once I "restore" the "advanced" reappears and leads me to new
territory entirely! c.f.
What is "use DDE"?
Can I add an "Action" such as 'print'?
What (if anything) is the 'file extension" of a 'shortcut"?

Thanks,
