Unable to print to PDF & XPS files on my work's W10 EE lappy.
Hello.
On my work's three months old Lenovo Thinkpad P50 laptop/notebook with IT's updated 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise Edition (all updates beside anniversary pack), I am unable to use its PDF and XPS printer drivers. Even though listed in the control panel's printer list, sometimes they do not show up in the softwares' print options. I tried to delete PDF printer, but now I can't reinstall it. IT doesn't know why. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance.  -- Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / Please nuke ANT if replying by e-mail privately.

Maybe you find some other references to it. The second command repairs the component store, potentially using downloads from Microsoft to repair damage. The component store is WinSXS, and the methodology is called Component Based Servicing (CBS). Particular "things" in WinSXS are hard-linked into System32. And that's how your OS is constructed, from maintainable components. I think when you do "sfc /scannow", that checks System32. Whereas if you use DISM as in the example above, it works on WinSXS (the source of the components0. Paul

IT's Xerox softwares were conflicting and they confirmed there's a
reproducable problem that they are trying to fix since others see it too. I did manage to fix the issues myself by booting to Windows with disabled non-MS services and startups. I was able to reinstall the print to local files and print in both basic and normal modes. I also shared this tip with IT. I really hate it when they put all these craps (like OEM!) in the machines that I don't need (Xerox for me working from home 100%? :P). Ant wrote: Hello.
