  1. Print to Microsoft XPS document


    I recently unchecked the box to the Microsoft XPS printer because it always popped up when I wanted to print something. Now since I unchecked this option I cannot get files from Quickbooks to be saved to a pdf file.

    How do I get back into the area to recheck this box. QB will not save to a pdf without this driver installed.

    Thanks

    David

    Windows 10 - "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" and "Microsoft Print To PDF" no longer working

    On your question, you said that you tried to uninstall the feature using the 'Turning Windows features on or off', let's try another approach:

    • Search for Device Manager, or do Win + R and then DEVMGMT.MSC.
    • Go to 'Print queues' then uninstall both the PDF and XPS print queues.
    • Search for 'Advanced Printer Setup', or look this option in the Control panel.
    • Select 'The printer that I want isn't listed', in the next window choose 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings', select 'Use an existing port:' then in the dropdown select 'FILE: (Print to File)'.
    • In the next window, it will appear a list. Select Microsoft then in the second list select 'Microsoft Print to PDF' and next.
    • Select 'Replace the current driver' and then next
    • Give the printer a name (I suggest the original name) then next and it shall reinstall the printer and its driver.
    • Repeat the process but now instead of selecting 'Microsoft Print to PDF' in the list, select the XPS one.
    • Restart and see if it prints now.

  3. Microsoft PDF and Document Writer not working

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update and apologies for late response.

    Please refer to:

    Reader app for Windows: FAQ

    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve XPS document writer issues.


    • Right click on empty area on Desktop, click on Create and select New text document.

    • Open the created text document and type some text (input text as you desire, save and close text file)

    • Again open the text document, click on File tab and click on Print.

    • Select the Microsoft XPS writer and click on Print button.

    • You may select the location to save the file.
    Hope this helps.

    Print to Microsoft XPS document

    Printing to XPS no longer opens document prior to saving

    Thanks, Arul.

    Unfortunately, this doesn't help. In Windows 7, when I would use xps document printer, it would ask for a name and place to save the document. When I gave the document a name and then printed, the document would automatically open. (See step 3 at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/print-to-xps-document-writer#1TC=windows-7)


    I can't seem to make this happen in Windows 10. It doesn't matter whether I choose to save as .xps or .oxps - the document will not open automatically. I don't know what the previous version of XPS Document Writer was in Windows 7. In Windows 10 it is Microsoft
    XPS Document Writer v4.

    Thanks,

    Nancy
