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?

    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.

    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.

    I worked this out myself. We have multiple devices with this issue in last week. Thankfully this workaround does work at present. We need this for saving customer designs from the software we use to design kitchens
