A combination of a recent Windows update and Quickbooks update has left us without the XPS Document Writer, which is necessary to save or print invoices from Quickbooks. 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. We have already tried a system restore, but this failed to resolve the issue. The only link I have found: is not compatible with Windows 10. Where can I locate the XPS Document Writer for Windows 10?

Thanks for the reply Ethan. This is odd to say the least. While the XPS Viewer is showing as installed and is accessible via the Start Menu, it was still not an optional feature to turn on and the XPS Document Writer is not an option when trying to install a new printer, so saving and printing still fails. I tried uninstalling the XPS Viewer, then restarting. Then reinstalling the XPS Viewer and restarting. Unfortunately, I still have the same issue, I still can't install the XPS Document Writer as a printer on the XPS port (it is not an option listed for Microsoft).
And XPS Viewer still doesn't show up under 'Turn Microsoft features on or off' so printing is still failing. Katherine, Thanks for the information. Xp swmm 2010. The primary focus should now be on the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, no worries about the XPS Viewer.
In optionalfeatures, 'Turn Windows features on or off', try to uncheck the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, then click OK. Do not restart. Go back to optionalfeatures, check it again, and click OK.
Now you can restart. I've removed the Microsoft XPS Document Writer myself from Printers & scanners, and I'm going to test my method out. If you're unsure of what optionalfeatures is, you can look it up in the Start menu by typing it in. Let me know of what happens, I'll perform a restart myself and see if anything changes.
