Please provide a “Setting” that allows to ALWAYS use the System “Print” dialog instead of the Brave dialog.
Hi and welcome to the community.
There is a Feature Request for this for macOS (with some comments to include for windows).
I prefer using the macOS system print dialog rather than the Chromium print dialog. It would be nice if I could set that to be the thing it used when I hit “command-p” rather than having to remember to use “command-option-p” in Brave.
It is an older topic and only has 3 votes. You could go vote on that request though. I have seen posts by Brave staff that the dev team does read the Feedback and Feature Request categories. Doesn’t mean the feature will be implemented but couldn’t hurt to vote and let them know there is still interest in this feature!
This is a pinned topic about the Feature Request/Desktop Requests category.
Request features you would like to see implemented in the Desktop browser.
Feature Requests Posting Guidelines
Topics that belong in this section:
Post in this category should be specific to implementing desired features that would improve Brave Browser as a product. If you have an opinion on the browser, please post it in the Feedback category.
I’d also like to remind everyone that these are requested features. Please do not make demands - they sound childish and will not be responded to. A…
There is also an open Brave GitHub issue report about this. Posted link below. Again, it has been open a while with no movement and it is backlogged, but at least it is still open!

## Description
I want to use the system default print/print preview rather than the custom Chrome/Brave preview. There is a work-around to force this on some OSes, but when you do that it displays the somewhat scary "your browser is managed by your organization."
It would be much nicer if there were a checkbox somewhere in the preferences to configure this, rather than having to resort to external configuration.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Print anything
## Actual result:
Brings up the Brave print preview
## Desired ~~Expected~~ result:
Brings up the System print dialog
## Reproduces how often:
Every time, unless overridden externally.
## Miscellaneous Information:
More discussion here: https://community.brave.com/t/feature-option-to-make-macos-system-print-dialog-the-default/98716/3
For example, on macOS, you can override the default behavior by running this at a command line:
```
defaults write com.brave.Browser DisablePrintPreview -bool true
# or for Brave beta version:
defaults write com.brave.Browser.beta DisablePrintPreview -bool true
```

Wow, THANK you, Chocoholic! I didn’t even know cmd-option-p was a thing! That will probably help until this suggestion is picked up by dev.
I’ll visit said topics and do what I can to keep them alive.
Thanks again,
Ken
