How to Turn on a Microsoft Office Document Printer

The Microsoft Office Document printer is a printer installed on a computer running Microsoft Office that allows users to print a document in an electronic format. So rather than printing a paper document with a printer, ink and paper, the Microsoft Office Document printer prints Microsoft Office documents into an electronic format in the location of your choice on your computer. The process to turn on a Microsoft Office Document printer is very different from that of turning on a manual printer, but perhaps simpler.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Print" icon or go to "File" and then "Print" in the document that you wish to print with the Microsoft Office Document printer.

2. Select the Microsoft Office Document Printer (Microsoft XPS Document Writer) from the "Select a Printer" menu.

3. Click "Print."

4. Name the document and select the file location to which you wish to print the electronic document.

Tips & Warnings

• Rather than saving a document the traditional way, save it in an easy-to-read electronic print document with the Microsoft Office printer.

• The Microsoft Office Document printer saves documents in a format that is not editable.
