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.
