Windows 10 - Printing from Edge

[TSEARS]

Hi all,

 

Hope everyone enjoyed their Bank Holiday weekend!

 

We have started deploying Windows 10 through SCCM, all working perfect! Apart from one aspect. Its not such a problem, but when users sometimes try and print from Microsoft Edge it just sits there and swirls while trying to load the printers.

 

I know its a problem with Edge as its fine with Chrome (Always like to have 2 browsers installed to troubleshoot) and its fine with all other programs. Mainly seems to happen when PDFs open with Edge.

 

Our printers are added via Group Policy

 

I had a look online, and its not just us who has the issues, but wanted to see if anyone else had the issue on here! I tell the users to use Chrome as a work around, but would be good to know

 

Cheers,

Tom

IE11 or Chrome is the only viable solution, despite Microsoft pushing for Edge.

 

The point is, they wouldn't have to if it worked properly, supported extensions and was manageable via Group Policy more extensively!

No issues in our environment printing from Edge. Our print server is Windows Server 2008R2, we use a mix of device specific drivers and HP Universal. No issues with either. All driver types set as Type 3 User Mode. All printers are mapped through Group Policy Preference.

 

Which version/edition of Windows 10 are you running? We are using Windows 10 Enterprise and all are running build 1511 or newer (no one is left on RTM build 10240).

Thanks for the reply's

We run on Windows Server 2012R2, with One HP Office Printer and 4 Sharpe managed printers/photocopiers (We are a Sixthform College hence the limited printers)

Its strange as im still yet to see the same problem (I use the same build as the staff and students, so I can test properly) but I have seen some users experience the issues.

 

We are using Windows 10 Education, seems steady at the moment, but could be GP causing the issues but will need to sit down and work through them (I wish there was more options to apply policies to Edge!). Had no time today as been trying to deploy the same image to our Citrix VDI solution!
