• In Print Settings dialog, select Printer that you want to use. Select "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" if you want to print to XPS document or select "Microsoft Print to PDF" if you want to print webpage to PDF file. You can also select any physical
  printer to print webpage to paper.

after Office Update, some webpages do not print to PDF in Edge

My laptop came with Windows X installed and I have had no problems until today printing to PDF.

MS Office did a bit update overnight and now I get "We Couldn't Reach This Printer. Make Sure The Printer Is On And Connected To The Printer's Network Or Try A Different Printer" when trying to print some webpages [but not all webpages] using Microsoft print
to PDF and Microsoft XPS document printer. these webpages that don't print in EDGE print OK in Chrome and in internet explorer.

I changed the default printer to Microsoft print to PDF and I no longer get the red error message, but the webpages still do not print.

I could do a system restore but I suspect there were important updates in the Office update, so am reluctant to do that.

Any suggestions?

 

Printing Webpages

Sometimes I want to print a Webpage (to pdf).
IE11 and print to pdf sometimes gives the result wanted. But often, parts of the Webpage are not printed while the conversion stops.
Copying the Webpage in Word gives generally a mess.
I am interested to hear whether people found better solutions, for instance by using another browser and using an adequate addon?
