Windows 10: Unable to print to PDF

Hi Everyone,

i updated my laptop to Windows 10 and I have been unable to print to PDF. I have tried using Adobe Acrobat, Cute PDF Writer, and PDFlite. All of them have an error which varies per application, however they all generally say they are unable to print. For example: if I try to print to any of the above programs while in Microsoft Office it states,

Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup.
Try one or more of the following:
*Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows
*make sure the printer is turned on and online.
*Reinstall the printer driver.

I can print perfectly to any physical printer of my network. So I know it isn't the Print Spooler. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Including Office, Adobe Acrobat, CutePDf Writer, and PDFlite. I deleted all of the printers and re-installed. I have even tried using paint and when I try to print the file to a PDF an error appears stating

Could not start print job.

A few interesting notes: After updating, all of my printers were not appearing in the Devices and Printers screen in the settings. After reinstalling printers, I noticed that old printers were still available if, when printing something, I would click select a printer. I am not positive, but I believe I may have a conflict of printers or two printers on the same port. I since then while within Microsoft Office, at the select a printer screen, deleted the old printers, which didn't work.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thank you

-Jon

unable to print after installing windows 10

I have followed all methods and still unable to print.

I can go into my Printer website for the wireless printer and successfully do a test print. However, anytime I access a document, pdf or email to print - I get a Print Error message and just clog up the queue.

I also verified that my drivers are up-to-date for my printer.

Right now I wish I had never upgraded to Windows 10.

HELP!!!!

 

Microsoft Print to PDF creates a file that Adobe is unable to open

Yes, I can open other PDFs with Adobe.

I am using Adobe to edit and add text, and then trying to use Microsoft Print to PDF to flatten/save the changes that I've made to the PDF, but I am unable to open the new PDF file after using Microsoft Print to PDF to flatten/save the changes.

I can not open the PDFs created with Microsoft Print to PDF through Microsoft Edge either.
