How do I press on the "save" button of a print pop up with selenium?

Question

I'm trying to get selenium to press on the save button of the print pop up to save a pdf file. I can get selenium to press on the "print" button but once the pop up appears with the adress chrome://print/ nothing happens. Is there another way to do it?

This is the part's code so far:

        #download pdf
        download_button = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="printpagetoolbar"]/tbody/tr/td[3]/table/tbody/tr/td/a')))
        download_button.click()

        # download file: Nothing happens, this doesn't work
        download = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="sidebar"]//print-preview-button-strip//div/cr-button[1]'))
        download.click()

This is the image of the pop up window:

You could just set options to download the pdf. – Arundeep Chohan Mar 08 '21 at 02:24 — Arundeep Chohan, Mar 08 '21 at 02:24
