Windows 10: Cannot print to PDF - option missing

Unable to print to PDF, no Print to PDF option exists. I only have the One Note 10 and my actual printer.

What can I do?

-Windows 10 feature is already installed (https://imgur.com/P7fK9I7)

-Microsoft Print to PDF is missing from printer drivers (https://imgur.com/ADrTevL)

Solutions?

Thanks!

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand your concern in this regard.

Are you able to see "Microsoft Print to PDF" option under Device and Printers?

Are you getting this option when you print other documents or from Web browser?

Suggest you to check this issue by printing other Documents to see if 'Microsoft Print to PDF' option appears. Also try printing on web browsers to check if it lists the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' correctly. I understand that Microsoft Print to PDF option
is selected under Windows Features. However let us try clearing and selecting the option to see if it makes any difference.

• Right-click on Start button and select Programs and Features.
• In the Programs and Features window, click Turn Windows features on or off
• Under Windows Features dialog, uncheck Microsoft Print to PDF and click
  OK.
• Reboot your PC once.
• Once you reach desktop screen, reopen the Windows Features dialog, and this time enable the
  Microsoft Print to PDF checkbox, and click OK.

Now see if Microsoft Print to PDF option shows correctly.

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.
