Brave not selecting my default printer

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Windows 7 64 bit, desktop computer (yeah I know, I know, I’m upgrading soon)
Brave version 1.25.73
In Windows, a default printer has been selected.

Description of the issue: When I attempt to print an Ebay packing slip, or a packing slip from anywhere really, within Brave browser, my Windows-selected default printer is not automatically selected. Instead, I am forced to select which printer I want to use from a drop-down menu, every time. Why doesn’t Brave automatically select my default printer?

Expected result: When printing something from Brave, I expect Brave to recognize my windows default printer and not make me select which printer I want from a drop-down menu.

How can this issue be reproduced? Try to print out a packing slip from any website using Windows 7 64bit desktop computer in which a default printer has been selected in Windows.

@Anonymous,
Thank you for reaching out.
What printer/option is selected by default in the print dialog when you go to print? For me, it seems to always be set to the last used Destination I set in the dialog.

There is no default selected from the drop-down. Every day, I boot up my computer and I am always using private browsing for everything, so there was no “last used”; but still, there is a windows-default printer so I would expect Brave to use that.

@Anonymous,
If you attempt to print using a regular browsing window (not private), do you get the same results?

Yes, I just tried that and got exactly the same results.
