Impression on XPS Document Writer does not record anything

When I try to print in XPS Document Writer, nothing is saved.  The dialog box appears asking you where I want to save it.  I select the folder, type a name and save it, but nothing is written.  There is no error message or anything. It is enough to save.  I tried several different applications (Firefox, IE, Word, Wordpad), but this does not seem to matter.

One note, however, is that I can successfully print/save a test page to the printer (which makes it even more strange) properties.

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

* edit * I also tried to remove the device and add it again.  It does not either.

After seeing your post, I decided to revisit this issue.  Apparently I've solved it.  My problem was that the files I tried to save to have full control to administrators, but not by my user explicitly.  To test this, I ran Firefox as an administrator, and I was able to save/print the XPS document.  This obviously isn't the most secure solution, so I just added my name explicitly under the Security tab for my home folder and propagate the changes down.  It seems that I can now save without problem (and run it as an administrator).

It's not really make sense to me, since I belonged to the admin group.  It seems that the Windows UAC at least inspire you or something.  In any case, it's working for me now.  Hope that helps you.

    OK, here is the resolution:

    Under Printer Mfg., Microsoft (and game associate XPS driver) are defined in Windows 7 only, which is what tetraethyle3 noticed. However, it has never included in XP & earlier operating systems. The solution for these OS is as follows:

    1. Add a generic printer (for example an HP Laserjet 4);
    2. change the type of port to a Port of XPS (local port)
    3. no need to define it as the default printer.

    So, I try to activate the sound of material & sound-> Sound-> record, succeed in that, then try to test. And my microphone does not record anything yet (I have the latest drivers), it is a headset and it is not silent. I've reconfigured it, it didn't work.

    So I tried a new micro, it worked too.

  • OpenScript does not record the session

    Hi gems... good afternoon...

    I am doing a test for our application of load basis. All related services oats are up. Version of OATS is 12.1.0.1

    In configuring Oracle Application Testing in database > Oracle load testing, the schema is 'base default BTA' in the same server of the main schema (of which the application is directed).

    The openscript I tried to record the actions to load tests, but it does not record anything.

    My navigations are:
    Start > all programs > Oracle application testing suite > File > New > Load Testing (Protocol Automation) > Web/HTTP > Default Repositiory > (given name) > finish

    Then I start recording, open browser window, I hit our connected URL and performed an offline action and stop recording.
    But nothing got recorded.


    However, openscript for the functional test script generation / regression registers the actions properly.


    Is this a bug or is it my mistake... Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you have the default printer configured to be Microsoft XPS Document Writer.  Go to control panel > printers and devices and see which printer is enabled in a green circle.  If this is the XPS Document writer as I suspect, you can right click on your printer and then select "Set as default printer" after you do this, or if you cannot do this, answer with the brand and model of your printer and we are able to help if you have a driver problem.

  • Why Microsoft XPS Document Writer became my default printer instead of my HP printer and why can't he going back?

    Somehow Microsoft XPS Document Writer became the printer by default - I don't know what it is. We have an HP printer. We cannot go back. I need the Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

    The XPS printer is a "print to file" type of printer, it is not a real printer as such, but to behave like one.  XPS files are kind of similar (but not) PDF files, I prefer to consider as images.  They can be quite handy, suppose that you want to save a web page, as when you place an order or make a payment online (or anything else) you can only use the XPS printer to print and save a file without a real printer or using a printer and paper.   XPS files can easily be found (such as PDF or other image) and if yo need a copy paper, it can be sent to a printer.  It's a practical way of conservation documented records without having to print and store paper prints.

    Why can not redefine you your HP printer to default?  What happens when you try to do?

    If you do not want the XPS printer you can just delete it as any other printer (in the control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and printers).

  • Change in behavior of Redirection of ThinPrint 6.2 horizon breaks some printers PDF or XPS Document Writer

    To all,

    I have a deployment Horizon 6.2 on one of our environments and lately have noticed problems due to changes in the behaviour of redirection of ThinPrint. Prior to 6.2, the printers that have been redirected local client through ThinPrint were joined with: 1: 2, and so forth to avoid conflicts with printers installed on the virtual desktop. However, starting with version 6.2, ThinPrint will redirect the local client printers to the virtual desktop exactly the name specified in the printer object. This poses many questions on our end, mainly related to the printer driver PDF (Bullzip PDF, PDF ABS of QuickBooks, XPS Document Writer printer):

    1/to QuickBooks print to pdf function works, the ABS PDF printer object and XPS Document Writer object must be installed to make it work. However, when a user connects the virtual desktop with a client that has installed locally on their desktop client of QuickBooks, ThinPrint will overwrite objects printer with one redirected, that is causing the printer to stop working correctly since ThinPrint redirection does not support file-based printers. When the user disconnects, ThinPrint will remove these printer objects permanently, requiring a reinstallation of printer on the virtual desktop objects, even for non-persistent desktops if user data are persisted (e.g. Volumes writeable UIA + profile of Volumes of the App).

    2. Similarly, if the user has installed the printer (e.g. Bullzip) PDF or XPS Document Writer installed (which is installed by default on every desktop Windows 7/8/8.1/10), on their client computer and tries to connect to the virtual desktop, which has the same Bullzip/XPS Document Writer installed, component redirection ThinPrint will Remove the object Bullzip/XPS requiring a reinstallation of these objects in the printer. Printer PDF from QuickBooks to XPS Document Writer to work, it also breaks the QuickBooks PDF printing functionality.

    This has caused a lot of headaches at home, and I would like to know if we can return the behavior of redirection of ThinPrint back to the earlier version. I really don't want to disable ThinPrint quite that certain users want the ability to print from their personal printer. In addition, article on disabling ThinPrint (https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1031688, https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2012770, https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2003626) from the side customer does not work at all.

    Hi SolgaeDK,

    Going back to the old solution of printer name, please follow the steps below,

    1. in the agent's Office, change the value of registry TPACScheme key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint Print Port Monitor for VMware\Ports\TPVM: of %N to %N #: % I (lager I).

    2 restart the Service AutoConnect TP and print spooler.

    Then printers will be regenerated with name like ' #: 1 "attached as before.

    XPS Document Writer create the *.xml to aid Microsoft Open XML Paper Specification files.  This is the format of Microsoft 'electronic paper' developed as an 'alternative' in Adobe pdf format.

    I agree, it's a bit lame, especially given that few people have actually downloaded the necessary XPS document viewer that is required to view the files created by the XPS Document Writer, but there is no real need to remove it.

    However, if you really want to get rid of it (there may be a few minor remains), follow these steps:

    1. Open Printers and faxes
    2. Right-click on the icon for the XPS Document Writer and select Remove
    3. In printers and faxes, click file > server properties
    4. Click the tab drivers

  • Microsoft XPS Document Writer

    Hello community:

    I try to use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which came with Windows Ultimate.  When I press the "print" button, it brings up a dialog box stating "save under" and he doesn't let me go forward with an impression.  I don't understand this.  I then use a Dell Photo printer, I used with Windows Vista Home Premium until I upgraded to Windows Ultimate and no problems with printing.  Can anyone help?

    Hello Hoadley.

    The XPS Document Writer is a type of virtual printer used for the creation of XPS files.  If you click on where it says XPS Document Writer, in the print page, you should get a list of printers on your system.  The Dell printer should be listed, select that one and print here.

    You can change the default by going to Panel-> hardware and printers-> printers.

  • By using the Microsoft XPS document Writer print driver, I no longer get the XPS files indexed.

    By using the Microsoft XPS document Writer print driver, I no longer get the XPS files indexed.
    Open the file "print" with the XPS Viewer XPS and while trying to search inside, I get this message:

    The XPS Viewer has finished searching for the document. The search item was not found.
    There is no searchable text in this document.

    I have 'print' some of my pages on the Bank, internet bank that every now and then I get a searchable history on disk, and opening a XPS I created in April (2011), the text is perfectly accessible, and I can select text with the mouse. However, the next printed file may, the entire document more like a picture. Nothing can be selected, and the message shown above, appears when you try to search for in the document.

    What could be the error? Can I change something to get back to normal "text printing" or is this a deliberate, change that has been installed from Windows update or even?

    Hello

    1. what changes have been made to your machine before the problem?

    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Refer to this document to ensure that the settings are correct for Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

    Step 2:

    Perform the System Restore to the point that your XPS Document Writer worked very well.

  • XPS Document Writer under Win 7 x 64 fails to create print files.

    This used to work, but for some reason, it stopped.

    Basically, if I try to print from any application in XPS Document Writer, I am invited properly to a file name, but then, according to the application I get an error message, but in any case I do not get a file.

    for example, for the notebook, I get the message "the i/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".  Internet explorer 8 I don't get any error messages at all.

    I tried to delete the printer driver and Add again and I've also added a generic printer and then adjusting the details of the driver.  In both cases, I have the same problem.

    I turned and on windows for Services of XPS and XPS Viewer features.  Once, this has made no difference.

    I even restarted the printer spooler.  No difference.

    When I try to print test page, I get an "unable to print Test page.  You want to discover the convenience of printing support?  Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003e3).

    Clues someone?

    Hi jcmm33,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. What is the full error you receive when you run the Print Troubleshooter?

    I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.
