Panel]-[Hardware and Sound]-[Printers]-[Add a printer] in
Windows Vista, the preview will not function.
To use the preview function, first delete the XPS printer
driver, and then re-install it according to the Installation
Method.

is grayed out and cannot be selected.

functions are selected at the same time:

If the preview does not function correctly, disable the
[Preview before printing] option on the [Quick Setup] tab or
the [Main] tab, and then execute print.

properly if [Render print jobs on client computers] on the
[Sharing] tab is not selected for the printer properties.
