When I am using a web application; ie office365, bank app, etc. If i hit "command p" to print or go to "file-print"....it makes me save as PDF...then i need to go to finder and locate the pdf and print from there.....it has been doing this for many months.....I am saving all kinds of files unnecessarily and a lot of time is lost with all theses extra steps.....any suggestions?

Note: if i use other web browsers it doesn't do this......or if I open office365 documents on the desktop version, it doesn't do this...they will print correctly.

I assume you get Firefox's overlay, with the preview on the left and the setup controls on the right? At the top of that panel, under Destination, you should be able to change from "Save to PDF" to an actual physical printer. Is your printer listed there?
