    Microsoft Print to PDF no longer working in Windows 10


    I removed Microsoft Print to PDF printer already, then added it back in … but that still does not allow me to print.

    Once I added the printer back "You've successfully added Microsoft Print to PDF (Copy 1)", the 'Print a test page' tells me that "A test page has been sent to your printer" … but I can't find it, if it really did create a test page.

    What now?

    :)

    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 on Windows 10 - 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!
