You are returned to the Print Pictures dialog box where the Microsoft Print To PDF printer driver has been added to the Printer drop-down list and is automatically selected. To do so, click the “Set as the default printer” check box so there is a check mark in the box.

You are returned to the Print Pictures dialog box. Again, click “OK” to accept your changes or click “Cancel” if you don’t want to save the changes you made or you didn’t make any changes.
