When I try printing I am redirected to "Save Print Output As". How do I rectify to print directly? Printer is set as Default Printer.

Hello, @fergie65 – Hope you are well 🙂


Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.

 
I see that you are getting the “Save print output as” message while trying to print. I will certainly do my best to get this resolved!

 

If the issue only happening while printing using the Google chrome (let me know if I’m wrong ;)), then it is not the printer which does it, but it is the doing of Google Chrome.

To get this resolved, from the printing dialog window of Chrome click the "Change" button and change from "Save as PDF" to the name of your printer, then it should print instead of saving the file.

 

Let me know if that helps! Good luck!

Cheers 🙂
