Brave can’t print Google Slides. It only allows for “save as pdf”, forcing use of Chrome instead. Am I reporting this in the right place, or where else? Is there a better category to mark it with?
Open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers, and check if ‘Microsoft Print to PDF’ is default the printer. If not installed, try installing a virtual printer
Thank you. I take it that I should ensure that Microsoft Print to PDF is not the default, right?
But, regardless, it seems that if I set that printer or any of the my installed printers as default, the behaviour in the OP remains. (Or when you say “virtual printer” do you mean something other than the regular printers that I have installed? The described problem occurs regardless if I am on the LAN that has those printers or if I’m in somewhere else.)
But still, do others actually not have the problem I describe in the OP? Do others get the print dialogue when printing from Google Slides?
Again, thank you @CerealLover - but the problem persists. A local printer is set as default (see screenshot) and I’ve also restarted the computer… but, nope.
Again: Can anybody confirm that the get the proper print dialogue in, specifically, Google Slides on Brave? I suspect we all only get “save as pdf” i.e no way to select printer or what pages to print.
@twMat,
So we had a previous issue that describes this, but its from quite a long time ago and applies to all online Google services:
I do currently see this issue on Slides as you’re describing it, but I I don’t see it for the other services (sheets, docs, etc.). I’m digging into why this may be happening now — in the interim, can you tell me if you get the same behavior on Sheets/Docs/other Google services? Additionally can you please tell me what Brave version you’re using at this time?
This appears to be a Shields issue — turning Shields “off” and printing shows the print system dialog as expected. I’ve opened an issue for the developers to review here:
