QuickBooks 17.0 requires the XPS Service to be installed in order to allow the PDF emailing of invoices.

Printers are listed as either having Windows 10 Web Package Availability (i.e. You can download Dell-made drivers via Drivers & Downloads), Windows 10 Drivers in CD (i.e. Windows 10 drivers for this printer were included on the installation disc that came with the printer), or Windows 10 Drivers in OS or Windows Update (i.e. Microsoft included the best drivers for this printer in Windows 10.
Unfortunately I am dealing with a workstation that is refusing to work properly in this regard. The XPS printer disappeared and trying to set it up again (via the local XPSPort existing port) in the Devices and Printers control panel, I receive an error:
I ended up removing the XPS Service (and Viewer) under the Windows 10 features panel in hopes to reinstall. After doing this and upon attempting to reinstall, I receive the following error each time:
DISM comes back saying integrity is fine. chkdsk is saying the filesystem is fine. SFC is coming back clean. The Windows Update Troubleshooter doesn't seem to resolve any problems as it also doesn't resolve the issue.
Any idea on how to force the XPS service to be reinstalled so that I can get around this and start to use the QuickBooks invoicing service again?

Hmm my client ran into this as well. Scoured the darkest depths of google struggling for a solution to this nightmare. Thanks to this chap all is well, although the posted driver would not work for me in Windows 10. Check below. Totally worked for me super psyched after spending 2 hrs troubleshooting this.

That's a system issue. I've seen a couple of cases before (Windows 7 and 10) and I could reinstall that service by using the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack provided by the Microsoft Download Center. Use the installer corresponding to Vista. If you want to add the XPS printer by using the wizard in Devices an Printers, when selecting the port, remember that the port is 'PORTPROMPT:' rather than 'XPSPORT:'. Hope this helps.

The XPS viewer is an application designed to view XPS documents. It was bundled with Windows starting with Vista. XPS documents are files saved to the XML Paper Specification (.xps file format). In Windows 10 version 1709 'Fall Creators Update' and earlier versions, XPS Viewer is installed by default. After updating to Windows 10 version 1803 via Windows Update, the app remains available. You will still have XPS Viewer, so no action is required.
Microsoft has changed the way you get XPS Viewer in case of a clean install. On a device with Windows 10 version 1803 pre-installed, and after installing Windows 10 1803 from scratch (clean install), XPS Viewer won't be available. To use it, you need to install it manually.
To install XPS Viewer in Windows 10 version 1803, do the following.
You are done. You now have XPS Viewer installed. You can open any xps document stored on your PC or by entering
xpsrchvw.exe in the Run dialog (Win + R).
Alternatively, you can get XPS Viewer installed with DISM
Install XPS Viewer in Windows 10 using DISM
Uninstall XPS Viewer
To uninstall XPS Viewer, you can use either Settings or the DISM app.
