Windows 10: "Paper Type" settings when printing in Microsoft Edge

I recently updated my laptop and the new version of microsoft edge came with it. I used to be able to select my paper type from the print screen glossy, semi-gloss, matte, etc but now there is no option at all. Under "more settings" it only allows you to change the size of paper, the scale, and how many pages per sheet. Has this feature been removed? The print quality is different for me when I printed on glossy sheets and had that option selected.

Microsoft Print to PDF - custom paper sizes possible?

Hi,

We suggest that you try to set the paper size of the exact document first. You can create a custom page size before you proceed with
Microsoft Print to PDF, it should auto-detect the paper size of the document.

To set the paper size in Microsoft Office:

• Click on the Page Layout/Page Design tab.
• Click on Size, and then in the options available, click on
  More Paper Sizes...
• Click on the drop-down arrow and scroll down to the last option which is
  Custom size. You will be able to customize your preferred paper size.
• Once done, click on OK, and then proceed with Microsoft Print to PDF.

Let us know how it goes.

 

choosing paper type

Sorry! I don't understand the reply. When trying to print a web page or email opened in Edge there is no option to use plain paper. When doing the same in IE11 or Firefox I can access the printer properties to choose any type of paper and other functions
but NOT in Edge. This is a failure of Edge that needs urgently rectifying.
