Add Print Button to Edge Browser-SOLVED

I have been searching for a way to add a "Print" button to the Edge browser.  This is a 1 click solution to take you to the "Print window" where you see settings on the left and a preview on the right.

Solution:

I created a "print" button in another popular browser following instructions found in a youtube video.  This was actually just creating a "Print" favorite.  I named the favorite "Print" and the url is "javascript:window.print()", without the quotation marks.  Then I exported that favorite to a file.  I then imported that file in to Edge and moved the favorite to my favorites bar.  1 click and it works!  ENJOY!

I did attempt to create the initial Print button favorite directly in Edge and it didn't seem to work.  Rather than waste more time, I just imported the one that was already working from the other browser.  Maybe someone smarter than me can create it directly in Edge.

I now have a 1 click icon on my favorites bar in Edge that takes me to the print window.

    Faster way. Create any shortcut on the favorite bar.

    Edit the shortcut.

    Replace name by "Print" or whatever you want.

    Replace the URL with "javascript:window.print()" [no quotes].
