You can turn the XPS Viewer on/off through Add/Remove Programs, "Turn Windows Features On And Off", also removing the scan/fax support there should remove the Fax as well. Then when your printer goes to install it will install its own scan/fax (if needed) software.

cheers , in regards to fax what am i looking for ? also my machine is 100% update also how can i tell that netframe work 4.0 installed the correct way ? i mean i see it listed under add remove but the options to turn off services read as 3.5 somthing

Don't worry that you see .NET Framework 3.5 even though you have 4.0 installed in Windows Components, its not a big deal and each framework actually works independently. So apps that require 3.5 use 3.5 and apps that require 4.0 use 4.0, etc. Perfectly normal I would not touch it. Fax might be under Print and Document Services, Windows Fax and Scan.
