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?

    Has anybody noticed similar behaviour when downloading PDF files aswell?

    They download to 100% but never finishes, leaves a temp file in the downloads folder.

    I have come across that in the past. However in my case that was happening only with PDF downloads from a handful of sites and not at the same time, so my thought was (and is) that the problem was with those sites. They fixed the problem, whatever it was, since then.

    Yes, I'm afraid this is behaving similar to print as PDF.

    Exactly the same issue. Version 120.0.2210.61 (Official build) (arm64). Also on 2 x Windows Machines (10 and 11) and on Linux Mint with MS Edge installed.

    The workaround I have found is to "Print to" Rather than "Save as". But needs a fix.

    Worked OK on 119.0.2151.97 (Official build) (64-bit). But updating on that machine failed as well.
