Missing Spooler, Print to PDF, XPS
I just had the system built last month and installed Windows 11. I don't do much printing so I installed my old Brother printer that I use on my previous system but the drivers didn't work. According to online Brother assistance the Windows 10 drivers worked with the earlier builds of Windows 11. I think trying the different suggestions for using the Windows 10 drivers may have caused the problem.

Manually Add Printer (If Driver Fails)
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
- Click Add device and let Windows search.
- If not found, click "The printer that I want isn’t listed".
- Choose "Add a local printer" and select the correct port.
- Browse to the extracted driver folder when prompted.
