Print problem

My computer has Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. When using Firefox and needing to print an article, a "Print Dialog Box" comes up as expected. However instead of printing or sending up another print box, a "Save Print Output As" box comes up. How can I fix my issue?

What is selected in the "Print Dialog Box"?
Does Firefox know that your printer is there?
New install of Firefox you might need to select the printer for output; after that Firefox should 'default' to that output.

"Save Print Output As" might default to something else. With my Win7 PC, the 'default' is the Microsoft XPS Document Writer with a new installation & Profile for Firefox. Never used Windows 10.
