Windows 10: How to Restore Fax Printer Queue

In the process of installing a new printer I accidentally removed the 'Fax' printer that I didn't mean to. How do I get this printer back?


I looked in [Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off] and only found that the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' and 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' printers are listed and enable those printer queues. On my older computers Windows Features also has a 'Windows Fax and Scan' feature listed under the 'Print and Document Services' features heading, but my newer computer does not have the 'Windows Fax and Scan' feature listed, although I don't really know if that is actually how to get the 'Fax' printer back or not.


Any help will be appreciated in restoring the preloaded 'Fax' printer that I inadvertently removed.


Thanks, and best regards,

Kevin

What Is The New Printer Queues For In The Device Manager?


In the Anniversary Edition of Windows 10 there is a new category called PRINTER QUEUES. Does this take the place of the PRINTER listing, and if it does why did they change the name of it?
