Administrator privileges are required to install the XPS driver.

We've updated our fleet of Xerox mfp's and moved from deploying the global print drivers to the model specific drivers. I can't think of any reason we would use these drivers in a windows 10 office environment that never uses XPS files. I don't ever use XPS "feature" in Windows. I uninstall the XPS Windows feature. If you don't print to XPS then you should not need to do anything with it. Unless I am not understand your question.

That said here some baselines. I am sure you have been told this, but all your OS and printer models need to support XPS technology for it to work. I've never seen a need for using the XPS drivers in our specific environment but I thought it would be a good idea to double check with someone else on their ideas before I passed on my recommendations to the boss. Check the product support website periodically for updates or patches to the XPS printer driver and other printer software.
