    How do I add the microsoft print to pdf printer back when I do not have the option listed...


    I recently removed the microsoft print to pdf printer device from my settings because apparently it was causing some problems to the secure exam browser that I taking the test on. I need this now and I followed the steps on an thread that tells you how to reinstall it. But the problem is I cannot find the microsoft print to pdf as one of the options listed under the manufacturer. What do I do? Additionally, I also removed an imaging device which I think it might be scsr or scsp scanning device. I'm not too sure on the name but I uninstalled that as well from my device drivers as the exam brows

    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.

    Microsoft Print to pdf

    I use Sibelius Software and recently the Microsoft Print to pdf hasn't been working properly. In looking for a solution it was suggested that I remove it from the computer and reinstall the driver etc. It looked easy to do. I followed the steps as told (way
    4)

    [Solved] Microsoft Print to PDF Not Working in Windows 10/11 - Driver Easy

    But when I started the process of reinstalling it in 'add devices and printers' and came to the bit about chosing a device I wasn't offered 'The printer that I want isn't listed' option, but instead it said 'can't find what you're looking for' and when I
    pressed that link it took me to a Microsoft page about Bluetooth. I'm not sure how to get round this?

    How can I reinstall the pdf printer?

    Thanks!
