Deploy XPS Document Write via GPO?

[gaz350]

ok i might seem a little crazy...... but anyone know how i could easily deploy the XPS Document Writer to all machines?

 

we have been investigating an issue with "No printers installed" with 32bit office 2010 on windows 7 64bit. as it happens randomly its been very hard to work out whats been going on. 64Bit office solves the issue but we don't want to go down this route (500+ 64bit machines fun fun fun)

 

XPS, PDF printers etc were orginally a part of our disk images and removed via GPO to keep things clean. it seems after alot of investigation having a local printer installed seems to give office time to poll what network printers are installed.

 

so anyone know what settings are required for an XPS document writer???
