Reinstall Microsoft XPS Document Writer Printer in Vista
How do I reinstall the Microsoft XPS Document Writer Printer in Vista if it was deleted from the Printers folder as well as deleted from the Drivers tab on the Printer Server Properties? I've tried using the drivers in the "C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools\Microsoft XPS Document Writer" folder on the XPSPort but I get "Printer driver was not installed. Unable to find a core driver package that is required by the printer driver package." -- Gnavicks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gnavicks's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=27892 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=782555 http://forums.techarena.in

Is Word 2007 installed?
You could see if reinstalling the Save as pdf and xps add-in works. -- Bill R MVP "Gnavicks" wrote in message ...

I have tried to use the Printer Wizard but initially "Microsoft" wasn't listed in the manufactures. I could browse to "C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools\Microsoft XPS Document Writer" and the wizard attempted to install the printer on the local XPSPort but it failed with the message "Printer Driver was not installed.

Reinstall Microsoft XPS Document Writer Printer in Vista
I've tried to install the XPS Essentials Pack but it fails with the message "The update does not apply to your system" when trying to install the XPSEP Vista 32 bit.msu on my Windows Vista Business 32-bit notebook.

Reinstall Microsoft XPS Document Writer Printer in Vista
Stumped. The experience pack won't install on Vista so that kills that idea.
The error message is because NET3 is part of Vista and, apparently, won't install over the top to bring back that printer. you can get the redistributable package for XPS but I'm really not sure how an installation will go.
