error printing message displays on monitor but PDF prints OK

[cwr64]

W10 64bit desktop current with Windows Updates.

HP7525E connected via USB.  Current with HP updates and running the full HP driver pkg.

When I click to print a PDF I get a Windows pop-up message that quickly disappears, but part of the message says "Error printing ..." or "can't print to ...".  But the page prints OK anyway.  Today when it appeared I had clicked to print a Groupon in 2-sided mode but also had selected to print only the "current page" (and I believe there is only 1 page).  Not printing in color, btw.

Ran HP Print & Scan Doctor which found no problems.

Did not reboot.

Shut down the browser (Edge).

Re-launched browser and went to Groupon again.

This time printing the same groupon (in monochrome) in either single sided mode or 2-sided mode the error message did not appear and the PDF printed fine as before.

I've seen the error message many times before but have not researched it previously.  I know I've seen it many times when printing PDF's.  I don't remember whether I've seen it when printing other things.

Totally uninstall Acrobat Reader from your system.  Now go to Adobe and download and install Acrobat Reader DC.  Now try.

Uninstalled Acrobat DC and then ran CCleaner

Then rebooted, started Edge, downloaded/installed Reader DC from Adobe and then printed the Groupon PDF.

Did not get any error message this time.

thx!
