Microsoft Edge | Read PDFs | Windows 11
Opening and reading PDF files in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11
I tried this but it kept saying it couldn't because it was open in Edge, even when it wasn't.
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?

FIVE STARS for you, Jeremy C. Radwan.

Honestly I'm surprised. This thread was started on 11/18, then I found it and replied on 11/29. But it wasn't really until 12/7 when it really started picking up steam. But it looks like I've got Edge set to the beta channel so some of us got the "bug" earlier than the public. I've now got "121.0.2277.4 (Official build) stable app, beta channel (64-bit)" and the problem is resolved.
You must be on a beta channel as both my Win 10 & 11 shows 120.0.2210.77 (Official build) (64-bit) as of now.

We were able to get it working through this Powershell command:
Add-Printer -Name "Microsoft Print to PDF" -DriverName "Microsoft Print to PDF" -PortName "PORTPROMPT:"
