XPS Document Writer

XPS Document Writer is a Windows feature that adds the Microsoft XPS Document Writer virtual printer to a computer, which creates XPS (XML Paper Specification) files out of existing content. For example, Microsoft XPS Document Writer might be used if you had some old documents you wanted to keep records of or need a print preview before finalizing a hard copy.

Like the "Print to PDF" feature found in many Internet browsers, Microsoft XPS Document Writer is added to your computer's current list of print options and is displayed whenever you try to print.
