Hi,
I have Windows 10, and this week end it automatically downloaded an installed a rather large update. Since then when I try to print anything I get a page to name the file and Save it. It is already saved. I have been unable to print anything since the download.
I have used computer for years, but never came across some thing like that.
Anyone has any idea what happened, and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

That sounds to me like you have one of the virtual printers set as default (XPS, PDF, PrintToFile).
Click the start / windows logo button and just type
printers
hit enter
that should open the Devices and Printers applet from the Control Panel.
Do you have a physical printer connected to your computer and is it listed in Devices and Printers and can you right click it and choose "Set as default".
IF not then you may have to reinstall your printer driver and associated software.

It worked. My printer is connected with the computer. Looks like the last update changed my default to one I do not have. Crazy.
Thank you.
