I'm attempting to print to my printer, a document from Google Doc but each time I select or hotkey the print function it prompts to download the page to PDF instead.

  • Bulleted list item Sporadically it will print on some random sites, others it prompts to download PDF
  • Bulleted list item My printer is setup correctly and set to default
  • Bulleted list item Printing to my printer works on and on PC document as well as Chrome, IE, Edge every time
  • Bulleted list item I have used the 'Clear saved print settings' in the Help section
  • Bulleted list item I have changed default PDF applications to Firefox and other programs
  • Bulleted list item I have reset browser, refreshed tabs, power cycled printer

All of these changed nothing. Firefox printer settings are few and far between, I was surprised for a basic and important function.

Would appreciate any help thank you.
