  1. cannot print anything


    Ii cannot print anything since microsoft updated last a panel pops up asking me to "save" everything. initially the problem was only with outlook mail. I deleted the ADOBE software and was able to print. Now I can't print anything. I ran the troubleshooter, re-installed the printer (old brother HL 1435) and unistalled the printer option for PDF. Please help. i am not very technical.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update and apologies for late response.

    • Are you able to print via Internet Explorer 11?

    I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

    Method 1: I suggest you to follow the steps below to print documents in the Windows 10 Edge browser and check if it helps:

      Ctrl+P or More actions button at the top last end of the browser.

    • Click Print as PDF button.

    • Check if the document prints as expected.
    If the above steps did not work, try the next methods.

    Method 2: Set your printer as default.


    • Press Windows key and type
      Control Panel
      .

    • Click on view by and select large icons.
