I recently installed an update, but now when I download a file it goes directly to my Samsung printer, which I don't want to happen. This has never happened in the past. How can I correct this? Thank you for your help and I hope you have a great day.

Safeway app and an app used for our congregation NW Publisher App.

Oh, I do not have those apps to test.

Can you recommend some common apps you may have that I might have so I can try them?

I can't hazard a guess as to what they might be, but I looked through several apps that might have print/download options and I could find none.  I even downloaded the Safeway app, but I did not want to create an account.  I don't see what could possibly be downloaded from it, though, unless it was the circular or shopping list.  None of my grocery apps have an option like that.  I can share my Publix list with Samsung notes, but not actually download it.  My banking apps allow me to download or print my statements, but that's about the only thing it allows me to download or print.

 

Were you able to do what you are trying to do in the past?

In the past when I downloaded a file and saved it to my files I could open it and then determine if I wanted to share it with the printer or open it with another app. Now when I open it it automatically goes to the printer.

I just found a workaround. When I go to the downloaded file I can choose to select it, without opening it, snd then determine where I want it to go. I can choose to send it to the printer or to send it to another app. This method will work. It's just in the past I didn't have to go through these steps.

Glad you found a workaround, as inconvenient as it may be for you because you are not used to doing it that way.  For many apps the only way to save something is to take a screen shot.
