I have a problem with printing from the latest version of Microsoft Edge. When I select some text on the browser and choose Print → 'Save As Pdf', the download starts but never finishes. How can I fix this? Is this a common issue for all the users of the latest version of Edge?

I have tried restating the PC, Resetting the browser, stopping all the extension etc. to fix it. but it doesn't work? Should I switch to Chrome?

    I've been having the same issue using Microsoft Edge Version 120.0.2210.61 (Official build) (64-bit), on:

    Windows 11 Home

    Version 23H2

    Installed on ‎6/‎2/‎2023

    OS build 22631.2792

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22681.1000.0

    The issue started happening recently. It was not a matter before.

    Yes, it is a bug. It was fine yesterday morning. Edge was updated and then it stopped working. I'm running on Windows 10 from a local account. I've tried rebooting and resetting settings, but no joy. Chrome works nicely though. - TC

    This has to be a bug. Everything was fine until the latest update. I cannot get anything to Save as PDF. Every once in a while it will work somewhat but today maybe 2 files out of maybe 20 try's. This reminds me of the updates on Windows 8.

    Unfortunately like a lot of people I am not a computer expert. But even I know that everything was fine yesterday. It updated last night and today it will not work.

    I am having the exact issues others are seeing. Downloads start but never finish. When you try to open the files, you get an error message that the file has an error or is empty or it says it will open when finished downloading but it never finishes and then and the only thing you get is it's your computer. If it is my computer then the update screwed something up.

    After going through the Windows 8 mess, which was so bad they gave you the next Windows free, I don't really want to go through this again. Please believe everyone and try to fix the issue.

    I am having the same problem with Version 120.0.2210.61 (Official build) (64-bit). Did Modify from the apps as suggested in another post which reinstalled Edge but it did not resolve the problem.
