Windows 10: Microsoft Edge printing XPS File/Format; print system doesn't allow prints.

Hello!


This has been an issue for quite some time. We use PaperCut to print to our printers. However, I can see that when someone prints from Microsoft Edge, it shows up using XPS file and not PCL6 (our drivers are PCL6). This in turn doesn't print the document even though it's registered.


Is there a way to make Edge use PCL6 and not XPS?
