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?

    Same issue here - Microsoft Print to PDF doesn't create an OCR searchable document but an image only that doesn't recognize text.

    Hello,

    I am having this exact issue with a PC. I have tried all of Mitchell's suggestions. I even upgraded the PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the issue remains. Doing the same action in Chrome works, but the user does not want to switch to Chrome.

    Thank you.

    Another user with the same experience. Yes, this is a bug.

    Edge Version 120.0.2210.61 (Official build) (64-bit)

    For me, this appeared after Windows Update installed 2023-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032288).

    Yes, add me to the list of those who are unable to use a feature I normally use every day since the latest Version 120.0.2210.61 update. Wasted hours thinking it was something else until I stumbled upon this thread. MS, please fix this problem asap.
