workaround for edge 154.0.4258.37 print to pdf not working

Jordan Rosenberg 60

edge update appears to have broken print to pdf. is there any workaround?

Microsoft Edge: 154.0.4258.37

Works:

Physical printers
Send to OneNote
Edge "Save as PDF"

Fails:

Microsoft Print to PDF
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
Adobe PDF

Same virtual printers work correctly from Chrome and other Windows applications.

Edge debug log:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'media_size')

source: edge://print/index.js

Followed by:

Printer: print_error_dialog.cc:63

Check your printer and try again. Printing failed.

We are also experiencing this. It's a company wide issue affecting any computer updating to 154.0.4258.37. Hoping Microsoft will acknowledge this issue and release a fix.

We have reproduced the issue with Microsoft Print to PDF and Adobe PDF. When printing from the standard Edge print dialog, selecting either virtual printer results in no PDF being generated.

We did a same-device before/after test:

Edge 153.x → Microsoft Print to PDF worked

Edge automatically updated to 154.0.4258.37

Same device/user/printer → Microsoft Print to PDF no longer works

No Windows printer configuration changes were made between tests

Additional observations:

Edge Save as PDF continues to work

Microsoft Print to PDF works when the page is opened using Internet Explorer Mode

Adobe PDF exhibits the same failure as Microsoft Print to PDF

The issue therefore appears isolated to the standard Chromium Edge-to-virtual-printer path rather than the underlying PDF printer itself

We have a significant enterprise population now running Edge 154, while Edge 153 devices remain available for controlled comparison

Can you confirm whether this is a known regression in Edge 154.0.4258.37?

Is there an associated Microsoft bug/reference ID?

Is there a recommended enterprise workaround other than Edge Save as PDF or IE Mode?

Is there an associated Microsoft bug/reference ID?

Are Microsoft Print to PDF, XPS, Adobe PDF, or other virtual printers known to be affected?

Is there a recommended enterprise workaround other than Edge Save as PDF or IE Mode?

Is a fix planned for an upcoming Edge 154 servicing release?We have reproduced the issue with Microsoft Print to PDF and Adobe PDF.

We are also having this problem with users.
Edge 153 does not have the issue - it is the latest 154 Update that breaks this functionality.
They need to introduce an update with a fix or introduce a rollback option at least for 1-2 versions in case issues like this happen

Restarting Print Spooler services then reopening MS Edge worked for me. 😊

I used a regedit to force Edge to use system print dialog. Now print to PDF works for me.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome.

Add DisablePrintPreview - REG_DWORD (32-bit) with value 1
