  Hi everyone,
  
  I want to use my server to print pdf and xps documents (onto paper) that I can drag and drop from my laptop into a shared folder on the server under surveillance of a script.
  
  The problem is xps. WHS 2011 doesn't seem to have the typical windows7-like Xps Viewer, but you can actually find xpsrchvw.exe, the application, tucked away in some system folder. Alas, it doesn't open, and I haven't found any good alternatives. IE doesn't open .xps files either, which is funny, it just offers to save them again (I'm thinking it might be a security thing?).
  
  Does anyone have a solution or see any possible issues I might be having with xps viewer (or IE) that might stop it from running properly?
  
  Thanks.
