Change Description

The P:System.Printing.PrintSystemJobInfo.JobStream property exposes the stream of a print job. The user can send raw data to the underlying operating system printing components by writing to this stream.

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5 on Windows 8 and later versions of the Windows operating system, data written to this stream must be in XPS format as a package stream.

• Ensure that the data sent to the stream returned by the P:System.Printing.PrintSystemJobInfo.JobStream property is in XPS format as a package stream.
