Windows 2025 Image does not contain the PDF printer anymore

[jbe2277]

Description

The Windows image does not contain the printer anymore:

• Microsoft Print to PDF

I use this printer for UI testing to verify the print functionality of a WPF Windows application. For this I use the PDF printer to create a PDF file which is then uploaded as artifact for review.

This worked fine for a long time but now it's not available anymore.
