How to open a .xps file?

Solved/Closed

Hello,

I've been trying several times to print text files or images that I find on websites, but when I try to print, it opens a download window, which saves the page to my documents, and when I want to print it, it doesn't work. I recently downloaded a conversion software from Microsoft to convert .xps files to PDF, but my package is not correct, so I cannot install it.
My question is: how can I open this kind of files and print them? (I need it for work).

I hope I have been clear enough in my explanations, and thank you to those who will take the time to look into my case.

THANK YOU and see you soon.
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.11

    Internet Explorer 7 also reads this format. Therefore, there's no need to install a viewer on your computer if it already has IE7 ;-)

      Indeed, a simple solution that works... just needed to think of it. In fact, by default, clicking on an .xps file opens the default browser (Firefox for me) but it only shows a blank page. Good for my general knowledge but it's easier for me to stick with PDF, unless there's a specific need.
