Print to PDF nonexistent in opera 19 Win XP, but still in Chrome.

`Printing a page to a PDF Printer driver works as well as it ever did. Still rubbish, but it does print.

Chrome has a built-in PDF viewer, so perhaps a built-in PDF printer as well?

Yes I'd imagine so.
I would have thought that to be able to print PDF documents directly from the Opera browser you would need the Adobe Reader plugin, which should be there if you have Adobe Reader installed.

I don't think this thread is about printing PDF files — it seems to be about print HTML web pages to PDF files.

Ah yes, sorry you're right!
If that's what the OP is trying to do I don't understand why if they have a PDF printer set up as a printer on their computer why it wouldn't appear as a printing option anyway, it's nothing to do with the browser itself.

Hard to be sure unless the OP returns to confirm it. Apparently he is using XP, not that that makes any difference.

I found that Opera 19 loads PDF files just fine with any plugin — Adobe, Foxit, or PDF-XChange.

Save as PDF is a more accurate description, really. It's just that print to PDF is often the best we've got.
