In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the XML Paper Specification (XPS) Page description language provides the most efficient method for displaying, processing, and printing documents. As both a PDL and a document format,

XPS requires compatible printer hardware and software written for the Windows

Presentation Foundation (WPF) architecture. PCL and KPDL are not compatible with an XPS environment. Therefore, an XPS driver supports a single PDL setting. The XPS driver can be installed from the Product Library disc. In the Installation Method menu, click Custom Mode, and on the

Custom Installation page, select Printing System (XPS) Driver.
