How to finish return when printing to PDF only?

I use Turbo Tax desktop. I have completed my 2024 return and do not want to print the return for mailing on my home printer. I therefore print to PDF, copy the PDF file to a USB drive and print the return from the USB drive at FedEX. 

The problem arises when I try to "Finish" the return. It seems that to finish the return, I have to click "print return" which would cause the return to print on my home printer. I cannot figure out how to finish the return without  going through this step. Any advice would be appreciated.

Above is the reply from the "Turbo Tax Expert" which was off no help. The reason I posted the question to the community was because calling the Turbo Tax Support line was useless. There was no option to contact a live person and I was stuck trying to communicate the issue with an automated voice response system on the Turbo Tax end. I made three attempts and didn't get close to the automated voice response system  understanding the subject let alone the specific question. 

Through trial and error, I ended up resolving the matter myself. 

Turbo Tax customer support has steadily declined over the last few years.
