        As I pointed out in my thread that was closed,

        https://forums.opera.com/topic/6777/save-as-pdf-issues/3

        I'm using Opera 25. Will look for Opera 26.

        EDIT: Opera 26 now installed, get this message: Opera does not include the PDF viewer which is required for print preview to function.

        Found a PDF viewer extension but installing it made no difference.

          You do not need a PDF viewer extension!
          Open opera://plugins/ and activate Chrome PDF Viewer

            @ho72 You can uninstall the PDF viewer extension. You don't need it.
            You're suffering from a little bug (that's fixed already, but didn't get distributed yet).
            Turn off Opera Turbo for the time being to get rid of this error :ninja:

                      @ho72 You can turn Turbo back on. Today's update should have fixed your printing issue

                      No, it did not. Version info: 26.0.1656.32 - Opera is up to date
