Has anyone had an issue where when you try and print from the EDGE browser it says it can't find the printer? It does not seem to see any of the printers as online.
Every other browser works fine.
My current fix was to switch everyone to FireFox but does anyone know why EDGE can't see any of the printers as online?
I had this issue just now.
It seems that some Windows applications use Edge technology to access the printer settings:
After some sort of windows update, whenever I opened a picture, it would say,
we couldn't reach this printer. make sure the printer is on and you are connected to the printer's network or try a different printer
after some research, someone has suggested to to change the driver in the printer properties advanced settings and it fixed it
these are all the steps I took:
(problem persists)
open Start > Devices and Printers
right-click the printer > printer properties
click change properties (to enable admin mode)
go into advanced > Driver > pick a different driver (for the same printer)
funny enough, after changing the driver once, any driver I picked worked and I didn't get the error again
Changing UAC settings to default fixed the issue for me.
