It seems MS has changed the interface to the “Print to PDF” and “XPS document Writer” printer drivers in one of the latest Windows updates. Both don’t work anymore on my system either, I’ll have to look into that.
For now, you can install one of the (free) virtual PDF printers, like Bullzip. They are also more versatile than that of MS and will generate smaller PDF files.

I notice that in the printer properties below (Print to PDF) it refers to Data Format: RAW Maybe a different instance of RAW than the one you were referring to earlier.
