MICROSOFT XPS DOCUMENT WRITER
Good Day! Does anyone know who to install the same MICROSOFT XPS DOCUMENT WRITER that installs on WINDOWS 10/11 on SERVER 2025. An application needs it to send emails with attachments via OUTLOOK...
It took lots of trial and error, but I got mine to work like this...
- Copy over the "XPS Document Writer" folder from the "C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools" folder of a Windows 11 computer that has the driver properly installed, to the same location on your Windows server 2025 computer.
- Using file explorer, navigate to the "C:\Windows\System32\spool\tools\XPS Document Writer" folder, right click on the prnms009.inf file and select install from the context menu.
- Open Powershell as Administrator on your Windows Server 2025 computer, and run the following commands:
- Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4"
- Add-Printer -Name "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" -DriverName "Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4" -PortName "portprompt:" - You should be good now.
Hopefully this works for you too :)
