windows xp XPS PRINTING

[Guest Merlyn]

Recently, I had my computer set up for dual boot XP/ VISTA. Before the

transition, I was running Vista Home Premium. I also have XP on another

machine. Before, I had the capability of printing to an "XPS"--Windows

Document Writer--file. Now, I can't. How do I restore this capability?

 

Regards,

=============================================

FWIW...installing Microsoft Office 2007 gave me that option.

XPS Viewer factoid:

The XPS Viewer is included with .NET Framework 3.0 and Windows Vista.

If you don't have .NET Framework 3.0, you can download the XPS

Essentials Pack, which is a standalone version of the XPS Viewer, by

going to the View and Generate XPS page on the Microsoft website. This

version of the viewer is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows XP, and

Windows Server 2003. You can view, copy, or print XPS documents in the

XPS Essentials Pack, but you cannot digitally sign or set permissions

for a document.
