Print Job Fails to Print when Printed from WPF Application to XPS Printer Pool

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have Windows 7 installed on your computer.
  • You have a printer installed using an XPS printer driver.
  • Print Pooling has been enabled for the XPS printer.
  • You print from a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application to the pooled XPS printer.


In this scenario, after selecting the XPS Printer and clicking the Print button, you will notice that there is no printed output. Additionally, if you view the print queue for the printer, you will see the spooling of the print job and then it will be deleted with no output. No error messages or warnings are shown.
