I'm trying to print a particular web page to PDF using "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows 10.
When the Save Print Output As dialog comes up, I find that it's browsed to the (empty or near-empty) folder I want to store the file in.
I paste in the name, copied from near the top of the website I'm printing.
I press Save, and the dialog disappears, and everything proceeds with apparent success.
This is different from the situation where I've tried putting an invalid character like a colon in the filename, when an error message pops up with the file name and a message that "the file name is not valid."
However, when I later check the target folder, the file is not there!
I have all files visible (including hidden files and operating system files) so it's not that there's some messed-up file extension or property. I've tried this in an empty and near-empty folder so it's not just that I'm missing it in a long list. What's happening here?

Check the read to configure printer - https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/print-pdf-windows/
– Mr. Raspberry – 2017-10-12T12:16:58.027That article is about installing a PDF printer. This question assumes that part has already been done, for the "Microsoft Print to PDF" default that the article discusses how to install. The article does not address the issue in this question, though people who don't have that already installed can read the article to learn how. – WBT – 2017-10-12T15:40:50.470
