How to send Print to: HP Envy Inspire 7900e all-in-One Printer Series, in lue of it going to PDF

Select the real printer in the Print dialog instead of a virtual printer such as Microsoft Print to PDF.

Try this:

1. Open the document or item to print.
2. Select File > Print.
3. In the Printer dropdown, make sure HP Envy Inspire 7900e is selected.
4. If it shows Microsoft Print to PDF or another PDF/virtual printer, change it to the HP printer and print again.

If the HP printer does not appear in the list, reinstall or add it in Windows:

1. Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
2. Select Add a printer or scanner and wait for Windows to find the printer.
3. Choose the HP printer and select Add device.

If it is already installed but still behaves incorrectly, remove and reinstall it:

1. Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
2. Select the HP printer and choose Remove device.
3. Add it again.

If printing still asks to save output, check that the printer is not using a file output port:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Devices and Printers.
3. Right-click the HP printer and select Printer Properties.
4. Open the Ports tab.
5. If the port is set to Print to File, change it to the normal printer port instead.

A quick test is to print a test page after reinstalling the printer to confirm Windows is sending jobs to the HP printer and not to PDF.
