It seems the issue happens when trying to print documents in various applications, not just Word. The dialog closes after clicking print, but doesn't save the PDF or work with printers. This problem appears across programs like Google Docs and Adobe Reader, even on the latest Windows 10 version. Could be a compatibility or settings issue?

The issue isn't clear, but you can save files as PDF in Google Docs or Word.

Absolutely, I understand. You're going to need to print your documents frequently.

It seems you're questioning the advantage of printing to PDF versus saving it as a PDF. Could you clarify what you mean by "better" and share more details about your situation?

You're correct, as I discussed earlier, using a physical printer isn't reliable. The PDF options also limit what you can include in the final document.

Understood. The issue is clear now. It seems the printing process might have been misinterpreted. Review your print queue by double-clicking the printer icon in the tray (by the clock). A stuck job could be the problem.

Tell me about the problems you encounter with physical printing. Regarding PDFs, PrimoPDF functions well as a virtual printer—I used it to generate my master's thesis documents. It operates smoothly on Windows 10, but I’m missing a setting that’s leading to errors (I need to configure the date format).
