I just tried that. Seems IE is already set to use my Windows default printer.
The problem I'm having is not with the released version of Edge, but the new Chrome-based Edge, aka "Edge Beta." Even the icon is different.

so your problem is only in Edge version 80 (Beta) and not the Edge 79 (stable) which can be downloaded from here? www.microsoft.com/edge ?- hschoenmanJan 18, 2020Copper ContributorTrue. Edge Beta. It’s the Chromium-based version. A totally different product than the production Edge.
Btw, while I didn’t like and seldom used Edge, Edge Beta is great and I made it my default browser. My only problem with it is its insistence That print should always create a pdf by default.
