XPS PRINTING

[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,
Merlyn

=============================================
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.
