Accessing Printer Press ESC to cancel

Updated on Wednesday, March 1, 2023

ESC

Minutes spent so far this year waiting for Excel to talk to a printer: about 290.

Lifetime Excel print jobs: maybe 2?

How to fix Accessing Printer Press ESC to cancel:

Press Start, search for Printer and run the Printers & scanners setting item.
Find and click Microsoft Print to PDF and click Manage.
Click Set as default.

The only real disadvantage is you'll need to select a different printer when you actually need to print anything (which you probably don't).

That worked well. 30-second fix solved minutes of delay each day. Cheers!
