Installing the XPS Document Writer

Hi,



I've accidentally deleted the XPS Document Writer printer in Vista. How
can I get it back? If I try to 'Add a printer' I can see an XPSPort
entry in the list of local ports, but if I select it, it prompts me to
use one of the printer drivers I have for a USB printer.



Thanks for your help!



Alberto

In case someone has the same problem, I've found the drivers in:



C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools\Microsoft XPS Document Writer



and installed from there.



Cheers,



A.

Hello

I am unsure how to reinstall the XPS Document Writer.

I looked at the file site C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools\Microsoft XPS Document Writer but do not know which subfile or subfolder is the driver. I dont want to create more problems.

Thanks

Launch Add Printer
Local Printer
Use existing port (XPSPort:
Microsoft
XPS

finish the wizard.
