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?

    That's true, but not the type/form of PDF file that I need for my purposes.

    Incidentally, I just discovered that the problem also exists in the current version of Microsoft Edge Canary.

    Additionally, I have also discovered that in addition to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox also saves web pages to the type of PDF file that I need.

    I continue to hope that Microsoft will soon provide a fix for the problem.

    Same issue here must be a bug in the latest version as "Save to PDF" was just working fine last week.

    Leave it to Microsoft to screw things up all the time

    Use "Microsoft Print to PDF" Instead until they fix the issue. This workaround worked as expected.

    I am having the same issue and "Microsoft print to PDF" as a workaround provides different results that dont quite work. It doesnt save the exact file name format I want to save e.g. It shortens "email 12.12.2023" to "email 12.12"

    Its not quite the same though - the file format changes and it saves in a different format

    I have the exact same problem that started today on Edge Version 120.0.2210.61. Last worked ok 3 days ago. Spent hours trying to find what was the problem before coming across this thread. Microsoft please fix asap.
