Microsoft Print to PDF stopped working
Not sure what is causing this, but using Microsoft's Print to PDF printer has stopped working since fairly recently. It works in Edge. I've removed Firefox but I think it failed there, too. I tried setting it as default and also disabling/re-enabling it ("Turn Windows features on or off").

Re: Microsoft Print to PDF stopped working
I suggest using a virtual printer instead of an extension, e.g. PrimoPDF. That way the browser can treat it like any other printer out there.
Combine that with e.g. FireShot to get "as-displayed" print layouts, and you should have all the options you need.

Re: Microsoft Print to PDF stopped working
This is a virtual printer (Microsoft's in-built for Windows 10), not an extension. It could be a Windows 1803 issue though.

Re: Microsoft Print to PDF stopped working
Ah okay I misunderstood.
Could you create a GitHub issue for this with the exact error thrown in the console? It seems there's a problem getting the printer settings and that might be fixable/worked-around on the browser side.
