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?

    You no longer need a workaround, the fix is released. Just update Edge, three dots, Help and feedback, About Microsoft Edge.

    It should then download the update and ask you to restart Edge.

    Thank you. I can confirm that after updating to version 122.0.2210.77, the "Save as PDF" feature is functioning as expected.

    *The discussion still remains?!?... 8-*

    ....Is there some kind of "masochism"???...

    THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED WITH THE LATEST EDGE UPDATE, v. 120.0.2210.77 (Official Build) (64 bits),

    as already repeated several times, in several posts, by several contributors!

    .... I don't understand how the forum administrators/regulators haven't considered this issue closed yet!

    It only creates more confusion and more "straw text" for those who are less attentive!

    KUDOS to you, Jeremy C. Radwan, for your workaround.

    Mitchell - MSFT (Microsoft Agent | Moderator) clearly didn't understand and research what Shaon Singha presented above - it 'never finishes'.

    You plainly presented this new 'Save as PDF' program BUG and you gave us Microsoft Edge browser users a workaround that will suffice until Microsoft recognizes this as a BUG.

    I get the message 'File in Use' 'because the file is open in Microsoft Edge' when I try to delete 'Unconfirmed 524799.crdownload'.

    I get the message 'Your file is still downloading' when I close Microsoft Edge.

    Only when I close Microsoft Edge can the 'Unconfirmed 524799.crdownload' file be deleted.

    I feel Microsoft should compensate you in some way for your workaround to this new 'Save as PDF' BUG.

    The extra workaround time and telling the user this is not a new BUG is unacceptable.

    FIVE STARS for you, Jeremy C. Radwan.
