XPS The XPS driver produces Microsoft XPS documents according to XML Paper Specification version 1.0. XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a document storage and viewing specification developed by Microsoft. It is based on the XML language and the printer page description language is based on: • a new print path. • a color-managed device independent and a resolution independent vector-based document format. • support for advanced printing features such as: – gradients – transparencies – CMYK color space – named colors – printer calibration – print schemas etc. The XPS document format contains a set of related pages with a fixed layout organized as one or more documents. A file that implements this format includes everything necessary to fully render these documents on a display device or physical medium (e.g. paper). This includes all resources such as fonts and images that might be required to render the individual page markings. XPS uses a ZIP archive, containing documents (fixed documents, pages etc.) and resources (images, fonts etc.). The XPS documents use the XML language to describe fixed documents and pages. The documents contain a root fixed document sequence that binds a collection of fixed documents which, in turn, bind a collection of fixed pages.
