Katherine,
Just an update. Try this, hit Windows key + R together and go into Run. Enter the following to go into Device Manager: devmgmt.msc
You should now see a new Device Manager window. Click your computer name in the tree view, the very first item on the top of the tree.
On the menu bar, click Action > Add legacy hardware. Click Next. Check 'Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)', then click Next. If you see the 'The wizard did not find any new hardware on your computer', go ahead and click Next. If you see a list of hardware that you can install, select Printers, and then click Next. In the 'Use existing port', select 'FILE: (Print to File)', then go ahead and click Next. Select Microsoft as the manufacturer in the left column. Look for 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4' or of similar fare, XPS Class Driver should be left alone, then click Next. You can then use the driver that is currently installed, so click Next again. Go ahead and click Finish.
To test the functionality out, go to your web browser or QuickBooks to print out a page. It should then prompt you to save your XPS file.
Hopefully this guide should work on your end, best of luck.

Free Document Writer Download Windows 10
The XPS viewer is an application designed to view XPS documents. It was bundled with Windows starting with Vista. XPS documents are files saved to the XML Paper Specification (.xps file format). In Windows 10 version 1709 'Fall Creators Update' and earlier versions, XPS Viewer is installed by default. The XPS Document Writer is not an option when trying to install a new printer and neither the XPS Service nor XPS Viewer are options listed in 'Turn Windows features on or off.' I suspect we need to reinstall the Writer, but I'm unable to locate a version for Windows 10.
