    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:


    • Once the document is open in Edge, press
      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.

      Control Panel
      .
