Adding Microsoft Office Document Image Writer Printer back after being removed.

I've had success with both of these solutions:

Solution 1.
Type the following into a command prompt window: (unsure if you have to
be admin or not)
cscript c:\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -a -p "Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer" -m "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer
Driver" -r "Microsoft Document Imaging Writer Port:"

Solution 2. (Not mine, borrowed from somewhere else.)
1. Close all running applications. If you have any Office application
running, the driver will not be installed properly.
2. Go to the "Control Panel" and "Add or Remove Programs".
3. Click on"Microsoft Office 2003" and then click on "Change".
4. Check "Add or Remove Features" and click "Next".
5. On the bottom of the page check "Choose advanced customization of
applications." and click "Next".
6. Under Microsoft Office click on the + sign in front of "Office
Tools"
7. Locate "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the icon and
select "Not Available".
8. Click on "Update". This will uninstall the MODI driver.

9. Repeat steps 1 to 6 to go back to the same location you were before.

10. Locate the object "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the
icon and select "Run from My Computer".
11. Click on "Update".

A third solution I've found that works: (Also not mine)
1. Go to Control panel - Printer and fax
2. Add Printer - select local printer attached (Unselect detect Plug
N Play)
3. In the port option select Microsoft Document Image Printer Writer
Port
4. Select and install a generic manufacturer and use text only printer.

5. Right-click on the generic text/only printer driver and select
properties.
6. Click on ports and select "soft Office Document Imaging Driver
Port".
7. Click on the advanced tab and change the driver to Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer.
8. Click on apply and OK.
