Hello Debbie -

In Windows 11, the XPS Document Writer is hidden and doesn't always show up when you click on add optional features. This should work:

1. Window+R

2. Type “optionalfeatures”

3. Find Microsoft XPS Document Writer 

4. Check Microsoft XPS Document Writer

5. Hit OK, let Windows run

You should now have the XPS Document Writer show as a printer.

Do the same thing for the XPS Document Viewer.

In Windows 11, the XPS Document Writer AND Viewer are hidden and don't always show up when you click on add optional features. I posted the XPS writer info above and may not have been clear enough when I said "Do the same thing for the XPS Document Viewer." Here's the instructions on installing the XPS viewer:

1. Window+R

2. Type “optionalfeatures”

3. Find Microsoft XPS Document Viewer 

4. Check Microsoft XPS Document Viewer

5. Hit OK, let Windows run

You should now have the XPS Document Viewer.
