In the Printer column on the right side of the box, scroll down and select Microsoft Print to PDF. From the list of manufacturers on the left side, choose Microsoft. If your printer isnt in the list, select The printer that I want isnt listed, and then follow the instructions to add it manually using one of the options. To do so, go to the Windows 10 search box and enter “Advanced printer setup.” In the box that opens, click “The printer I want wasn’t listed” and then select “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.” On the next screen, go to “Use an existing port” and on the drop-down menu, choose “FILE: (Print to File).” Click the Next button.Ī box with a list of manufacturers and printer drivers will open. Wait for it to find nearby printers, then choose the one you want to use, and select Add device. If Microsoft Print to PDF is not listed, you can try reinstalling it. Scroll down the list, check the box next to Microsoft Print to PDF and click the O.K. Microsoft confirmed two issues related to installing printers on systems running Windows 11 (via Bleeping Computer).

The Windows Features box opens and displays a list of apps and tools you can use (or turn off) within Windows 10. When attempting to install a printer in Windows, I was greeted with an error that said Unable to install printer. Some Windows 11 PCs run into issues when trying to install printers. When the Run box appears, enter “optionalfeatures” (typed as one word, but without the quotation marks) and click the O.K. To see if the option is merely hidden from view, press the Windows and R keys on the keyboard to open the Run box. If you are missing the Microsoft Print to PDF option in the Print dialogue box, it is possible that the driver software is not showing up because it is disabled as a feature, or needs to be reinstalled entirely on your Windows 10 system.

I don’t see an option to print to a PDF in Windows 10.
