Why can't I find or download Print Management in Windows 11?

I've been watching some YouTube videos on Printer Troubleshooting and taking notes later when the video brought up Print Management.

For some reason I can't find Print Management on my computer. Furthermore, when I try to follow Google's instructions:

Step 1: Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.

Step 2: On the left pane, click Apps, and on the right, click Optional features.

Step 3: Click the view features button.

Step 4: Search for Print Management, click it and click Next.

Step 5: Click Install.

I can't find Optional features where they say it is to download it, but I did a search and found it under Settings > System. After click on Optional features & selecting Add features a list comes up, but Print Management isn't on that list.

So is there any other way to get Print Management, or is it obsolete and replaced by something else?

 

manage optional features

Hi Alicia,

There could be a setting that has been configured to open the Manage optional features automatically. We'd like to know a few things so we could provide an accurate resolution. Kindly answer the following:

• Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• Is Manage optional features popping up right after you turn on your computer or while using it?
  
• Are you trying to disable the Manage optional features completely?

If you're trying to disable any of the optional features, here are the steps on how to do it :

• Go to Control Panel and click on Programs.
• Click on the Turn Windows features on or off.
• On Windows Features, select the feature(s) that you want to enable or disable and click
  OK.
  
• Restart your computer as the wizard says to complete the task.

We'll be waiting for your response.

 

Print Management for Windows 11

I'm trying to access Print Management in Windows 11, but neither running the printmanagement.msc file nor adding the feature from Optional features work. The list of optional features available for install doesn't include "Print Management", and it's not on the list of installed features. Is this feature removed from Windows 11? If so, how can I fix the problem of Windows not recognizing Adobe PDF as a printer anymore? I tried repairing Adobe Acrobat DC installation but that didn't work.
