QR Code not printing with Microsoft Edge

We have recently added QR Codes to some of our outbound documents. When we print these documents from IE 11 we have no issues. The QR code prints out on our documents, however, every single printer we have tried, printing from Edge fails to print the QR
Code. These documents are being printed from our web site where the QR Code is generated.

Why is this a problem with Microsoft Edge? How does a non-tech savvy consumer fix this issue?

Thank you!

 

QR Code Question

I'm working on completely rebranding the company I work for. Everything from the website, trucks, business cards to the shipping boxes. I am basically creating a new brand from the ground up.

I've done this before but I have never used a QR code. My question is I see a lot of QR code generators online that are free. However when I type in the same exact web address I notice the pattern in the code is different from site to site and day to day but, the code I generated last week seems to work fine.

Do QR codes expire and is there a way to pay for one so that a year from now the QR codes on the sides of our trucks don't lead people to some strange porn site or something?

 

QR Code Question

I'm a little late to this but QR codes are static. They're like barcodes but contain a lot more binary. If you don't get the same values from the same QR code, either the code itself has degraded (e.g. smidges making areas that should be white a shade of dark gray or black) or the software used to process it isn't working. Here's a basic breakdown of what each part of the QR code is about:



And if you want to learn more about them, see Wikipedia. The only way a well-formed QR code could point to a porn site is if you use an URL-shortening service (e.g. bit.ly) and that URL it generated gets repurposed to point to a porn site. To avoid that problem, simply don't use an URL-shortening service.
