Windows 10: Can't Re-install MS Print to PDF

This printer recently disappeared. When I try to re-install using Add a printer/Add manually/Choose a Printer Port/PortPrompt: Local port MS Print to PDF Version 10.0.17763.1 2006-06-21 shows up as a choice. Error message "The system cannot find the file specified". Using Have Disk" and navigating to System32/spool/tools/MS Print to PDF brings up prnms009.inf 2022-05-06, but error message says: "The system cannot find the file specified".The same happens when I use other printer port choices.

Use BulkFileChanger (from Nirsoft) or PowerShell command to unset "T" attribute. More here:

MS Print to PDF adds the "T" (temporary) attribute when writing to PDF which causes Windows Search to skip the file.
