how do i print without saving it to pdf

I used to be able to just hit the print icon and anything would print. Just recently I needed to save a document to pdf to my documents. Ever since then, every time I go to print, it converts everything to a pdf and goes into my downloads folder, then I have to print that way. How do I go back to just printing without it converting everything to pdf and going into my downloads first? I just need to print normal, without every thing I try to print turns into a pdf then going into my downloads. Please help, thanks.

You can also try deleting the printer again, and then right-click / control-click / two-finger-tap in the empty area of your printer list and select Reset printing system... before adding the printer back to see if this returns to the normal default behavior.

See the section titled "Reset printing system" about half-way down:

When you do CMD+p & the Print Dialog comes up click on Destination, choose your Printer...

I’m in google docs. It was working perfectly fine, until one day I decided to turn something into a pdf, so I hit the print screen and it came up and I hit save as pdf. Ever since then, every single time I hit print, it turns everything into a pdf then I can print. I’ve tried deleting the printer, then adding it back on. Rebooting, nothing works. I even tried by adding another admin user, and still the same issue.
