I use Preview as a tool to save multiple images(.jpg) as one pdf file. I have done it many times before but this time with Catalina I got this error:
The printer is turned off when I do this. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
(My steps are: in Preview -> Print... -> Save as PDF ->Save -> Error)

There are several posts on this here, and the possible workarounds are:
1) Use an AirPrint or generic PS/PCL printer, not a printer added with vendor drivers; it doesn't need to be real printer
2) Use "Open in Preview" from the pdf menu in the print dialog
3) Use Preview, File->Export as PDF…
4) Open the PDF in Safari, where Print->Save as PDF works.
5) Turn on "Use Generic Printer Features" in the printer's proxy or the Printers & Scanner System Prefs
This only affects printers added with a vendor driver in Preview.
Hope this helps.
