The " XPS Document Writer" is a driver so one can "Print to File" making a XPS type of document. This works the same way the older "Generic Printer" worked to "Print to File" making a TXT type of file.
But neither of them are used by a lot of programs that require a physical printer.

That’s your > problem, you have no driver installed. That's not strictly correct. From the Windows Help on default printers:- "A default printer doesn't have to be an actual physical device. Depending on your computer, you might have the option to send documents as faxes, or to save them as PDF or XPS files when you print. To learn more, see Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer." From which, I would deduce that the XPS Document Writer _is_ a printer driver, albeit, a not very useful one for Legacy. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
