Print Jobs Get Diverted to Adobe Acrobat AC

This is related to a previously reported problem that was “auto-closed”

Google Sheets Printing to PDF

Description of the issue: Brave used to give printer options after you click print and next (in printer settings) inside of google sheets. When you try to print inside of google sheets it goes to printer settings, click on next at the top and it gives you a download pdf to file pop up box. How can this issue be reproduced? Print inside any google sheet, it will always ask to download as a pdf Expected result: Print to “selected” printer. Do not need a PDF of a google sheet (spreadsheet). B…

When printing a Google Sheet, the print job is sent to Adobe Acrobat AC

I do not expect this to be replicated easily as I presume it has to do with a setting and not Brave

1. Open a Google Sheet in Brave running on Windows
2. Print the Sheet

Expected result:
In the past, I would be given options to send the print job to the printer or save as PDF, now it only sends the job to Adobe Acrobat AC where I then can print it.

This happens in both Windows and in Mac OS
Version 1.19.46 Chromium: 87.0.4280.67 (Official Build) beta (x86_64)

@itsMaxK,
In the print dialogue box, you should see a Destination drop down box at the top. From there, you can select whether to save it as a PDF or to print to your printer directly:

@Mattches,
I wish I could agree with you. Unfortunately, that is not what I experience. If it was, I would not have shared the experience.

I am attaching a screenshot of the first dialog I see when I press Command+P.
When I hit NEXT, I am asked where I’d like to save the PDF. I am never presented with the option to print a hard copy and none of the menus provide the option.

You’re not wrong, that is how I would expect it to work as well.

@itsMaxK,
Apologies – I misread the situation. I didn’t realize that you were trying to print from Google Sheets directly. Not only do I get the same behavior, I’ve actually opened an issue for this fairly recently:

Google Sheets won't show print dialogue, prompts to save as PDF instead

I’ve added your report to the thread. I haven’t seen a lot of movement on it either so I will ping some team members to see if I can get an update.

Awesome! I’m sorry you are seeing the same issue. At least I know it’s not just me.

I hope it doesn’t auto close before getting some attention.
