    Print to PDF missing in Printer List

    Thanks for your help. I was browsing the web the other day and I found a page called FINAL DRAFT. They had a set of instructions for reinstalling the Microsoft Print to PDF utility that worked great for me. Problem solved.

    Unable to enable microsoft print pdf printer in my windows 11 os.

    unable to select Microsoft Print to PDF, as the driver is not available

    I have been unable to install/repair Microsoft Print to PDF. After working my way through several online suggestions, including:

    SFC scan, DISM scan, making sure .NET framework was enabled, using the windows 10 update troubleshooter and resetting the windows update components I was finally able to activate Microsoft Print to PDF within the "Turn Windows features on and off" only after
    I turned off the print spooler. Then and only then was I able to select the Microsoft Print to PDF in the windows features and then have it successfully load.

    The problem now is that if I go into add device and then select printer not listed and try to add a new local printer, if I select Microsoft as the printer, the option of Print to PDF is not listed. In other words, the driver for Microsoft Print
    to PDF is not listed as an option    . Any help on how to reinstall/repair this?

    thanks,
