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?

    Confirming, seeing the same behavior in our environment, Edge 120.0.2210.61, reproducible on all machines.

    Looks like regression from previous versions.

    Hi rleners,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I had uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome several times and still had the problem of it opening and then immediately closing

    but yesterday I tried that again and so far it's working.

    Very glad for that.

    Same issue on MS Edge update.

    "Save as PDF" provides a .pdf document that is already "OCR" scanned once saved.

    A text document saved with "Microsoft Print to PDF" does not.

    Huge issue if you need to highlight text in the documents you just saved.

    Thank you.
