The Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW) has been updated to allow MXDW to output either Microsoft XPS or OpenXPS from any Windows desktop application. The format that is presented to the filters, depends on the format that is supported by the driver, or the format that is provided by the application. Either Microsoft XPS or OpenXPS can be presented to the filters in the print filter pipeline, using the existing stream and object model (OM) interfaces – no new interfaces are required by drivers to support OpenXPS. Windows also provides APIs to query the print driver, so that the application can provide compatible elements and avoid any additional conversion within the print system.Ī print driver can use its manifest to indicate whether it supports Microsoft XPS, Open XPS, or both formats. The Windows print path has been developed to ensure that the submitted XPS format matches a supported format of the targeted print driver, and will convert formats as needed. For OpenXPS support that is relevant to Windows application developers, see App Support for OpenXPS Printing. This topic focuses on support for OpenXPS via the v4 driver model. Windows 8 provides full support for OpenXPS, side-by-side with continued support for the existing Microsoft XPS format.
