Why 'Save as Pdf' is not working properly on Edge browser?

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?

    A temporary workaround at this time is to select "Microsoft Print to PDF" from the print menu rather than "Save as PDF" and otherwise save as normal. Hoping for a quick resolution from Microsoft.

    The issue with this work around is that it makes you type in the name of the file. "Save as PDF" auto fills it. Works I guess, but not ideal.

    I am having the same exact problem on Dec 15.... I do not have the problem with the Firefox or Chrome browser. Simple deduction tells us this is an Edge issue. A month or more into the problem and Microsoft has not fixed. I really prefer to use Edge. Do not make me switch to Firefox or Chrome....

    Hi, is there a solution yet? I started having the same issue after an update on Dec 14. It has to be a bug with Edge.

    FYI _ update: I am using Chrome now and it works as it should!
