    Microsoft Print-to-PDF missing, after confirming enable in Windows features. CONFIRMED SOLUTION


    After running firmware and software updates for a Dell OptiPlex SFF 7020, Microsoft Print to PDF was not displaying in Microsoft list of printers. I checked in the "turn Windows features on or off" setting, and the feature was enabled. I ran a slew of system scans to try to resolve the issue, but nothing worked. Luckily, I had a colleague that was gracious enough to assist me with this issue, and he ended up finding a workable resolution. Looking online, there was not a recent MS forum or reddit post that outlined the steps below, so I thought it'd be useful to the internet to post this.

    :)

    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.

    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.
