You receive incorrect print output if the IPrintPipelineProgressReport interface is used in your printing application on a Windows XP SP3 or Windows Server 2003 SP2-based computer

Consider the following scenario:

• You have installed the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack Shared Component (XPSEPSC) on a Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) - based computer.
  
  Note In order to have the XPSEPSC installed on your computer, you can first install the .NET Framework 3.0, .NET Framework 3.5 or XPS Essentials Pack.
  
• Your printing application has a filter that uses the IPrintPipelineProgressReport interface to send the progress status to a spooler.
• You print a document to the XPS driver.

In this scenario, the print output is incorrect. For example, the top of the first page may start in the middle of the first page.
