PowerPoint Ignoring PDF Printers

Question

I use PowerPoint 365. I have two PDF printers, one of them the Microsoft "Print to PDF" printer.

If I select this or the other PDF printer, or even "send to OneNote" it ignores the request and only prints to one of the two physical printers.

Answer 1

@Kosta Patsan

Could you please provide more information about the another PDF printers?
Is it a three-party virtual printer?

Does this issue occur with other Office files? Such as Word documents, Excel workbooks.
It's recommended to open Paint > Simplly doodle on drawing > File > Print > Select "Microsoft Print to PDF" to print for a test.

If this issue just occur with Office files, I suggest you go to Control Panel to perform an Online Repair for Microsoft 365 apps first.

Please also go to Start menu > Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners > Click the "Microsoft Print to PDF", Manage > Set as default.
Beisdes, please remember to turned "Let Windows to manage my default printer" off.

Any updates you may post back.

Answer 2

Thanks for your response.

1) it is only occurring in PowerPoint. It is NOT occurrign on any other Office program, which print to PDF or OneNote perfectly fine.

2) I have already run the Office repair tool, to no avail.

3) In PowerPoint i can choose the Microsoft Print to PDF, or a third party PDF printer, or Print to Onenote. It promptly ignores all three and prints to my default printer.

4) I then set Microsoft Print to PDF as the defualt prionter and it works. However this is not a good long term option.

Any ideas?
