<p><a href="http://www.jrssite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/qbe.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-45" alt="qbe" src="http://www.jrssite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/qbe-300x132.png" width="300" height="132" /></a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re using QB 2013, just update to the latest release using the &#8220;update QuickBooks&#8221; option under the help menu and everything should *just work* without any voodoo. I have to support QB 2011-2013 so I unfortunately didn&#8217;t have that easy option. For the older versions you can google a good handful of sites with troubleshooting and remediation processes including <a title="Quickbooks Support" href="http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/Articles/SLN40733">QB own documentation</a>. None of the few I researched helped me, but logic and simplicity prevailed.</p>
<ol>
<li>In my case &#8211; get the users out and `change user /install` since I&#8217;m on a TS</li>
<li>Delete the Builtin &#8220;Microsoft XPS Document Writer&#8221; printer as well as the associated driver &#8220;Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4&#8243; (a reboot may be necessary after deleting the printer to get Windows to let go of the driver files)</li>
<li>Reboot now &#8211; just for good measure.</li>
<li>Get your hands on the older version of the driver. It&#8217;s spread about on the Internet, <a title="Google Search Results" href="https://www.google.com/#q=Microsoft+XPS+Document+Writer.zip">google around</a>. Unzip it to somewhere that you can access it.</li>
<li>Add a new printer.
<ol>
<li>Choose a local printer</li>
<li>Create a new port of type &#8220;local port&#8221; called &#8220;XPSPort&#8221;</li>
<li>Use the driver in the folder you unzipped</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Test</li>
</ol>
<p>This worked for me. If you have trouble shoot me a message and I can maybe help you figure out what&#8217;s different between our systems. I am surprised by the amazing number of people who have made the process way too complicated.</p>
