Task Scheduler - Unable to select Deferred printer

I have a Task Scheduler job set up to run daily to run Visual Integrator jobs to export files.  This works just fine. However, the Task Scheduler defaults to print the log to Microsoft Print to PDF.  Every day when this task runs, a window pops up to save the PDF.  Each one of these windows is a user session, and if I do not log in to clear these out, there will be many open sessions. One of the issues resulting from this is that we cannot roll forward to a new period without all of these file-save windows closed.

In the Task Scheduler job, I have tried clicking the "Log" button and selecting Deferred, but it just switches back to Microsoft Print to PDF.  I don't want to actually print a log every day, and I don't want to have to manually intervene to get rid of these PDF windows.  Is there any way to not have these pop up?  Is there a reason why I cannot select "Deferred" for the log printing?

    I really do wish there was a way to turn off these logs.  (Are you reading Sage?). 

    We set them to a real physical printer and just waste the paper.  The only other idea I have is to set the printer setting to a print queue connected to a real printer, but set the queue to paused, so nothing prints, while the scheduled task is able to finish the print job... however I have not tested this idea.  Sage 100 printing is sometimes finicky if the printer is not online properly, so this might not work.

    I think the problem you're having is because of the default Windows printer (where I believe the log is hard-coded to print).
