Windows 10: Win11 Unable to Print to PDF

I don't have the option to "Print to PDF" by default, on a fresh install of Windows 11.I have attempted the disable/enable under Windows Features, but unless I stop the Printer Spool, I get error 0x800F0922 if I attempt to re-enable the Microsoft Print to PDF feature.

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.
