Hi SalmanAhmed; thank you for your response.
I have already tried the troubleshooting tool but it didn't fix the problem. It just makes me select the printer as the default printer and doesn't detect any other problems. I have also tried the following:
- Disabled and re-enabled the Microsoft Print to PDF feature.
- Set Microsoft Print to PDF as the default printer.
- Reinstalled Microsoft Print to PDF drivers.
- Updated Windows 10.
- Removed ALL the print queues just in case.
- Rebooted the machine multiple times.
- Cleared all print jobs and restarted the Print Spooler service.
- Installed third-party pdf printers.
- Used the troubleshooting feature in Windows.
Thank you!
