Can't Save to PDF in the print option.

Hello Kenny, sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

Open Windows start menu and type: Control Panel and click on it.

Under Hardware and Sound, select View devices and printers. In the Printers section, find Microsoft Print to PDF and right-click on it. Now, choose Set as default and press Ok to confirm.

Disable and Reenable Microsoft Print to PDF:

Navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off. Find and untick the Microsoft Print to PDF option, press Ok and wait until the feature is disabled. Then, reopen the Windows Features and tick the option to enable it again.

Restart the Print Spooler service: Press Windows + R keys and type "services.msc" in the Run dialog box. Scroll down and find the "Print Spooler" service. Right-click on it and select "Restart."

Hello Marco

Thank you for the reply, I tried all these steps and nothing is working. I think it's not so much of my printer, I think it's my windows. I can't even save or download a documents from my email to my computer. Also. when I use the snipping tool, I can't even save it to my computer. :(..

I need major help :)

Thank You

Hi,

When I click save nothing happens. It doesn’t even let me pick which folder to save it to. Also, I don’t have any other HD. Only 1 main one I’m using :)

Thank you.

In this case, I believe it's a permissions problem, because it's all related to the backup. Does this happen in all the folders where you saved your file or only one folder?

If not, is it on another hard drive? Can you change the save location to see?

Here is a tutorial for changing folder permissions: https://www.microcenter.com/tech_center/article...
