Hi All

I have an issue with print preview dialog Graphics Settings,
when I set Compositing Mode to Source Copy and press OK I get the "Parameter is not valid." error

I'm using the following code for print preview
NPrintManager printManager = new NPrintManager(new NDrawingDocument());
printManager.ShowPrintPreview();

It is reproducible on W7, W2k8 R2, W8

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Probably GDI+ graphics does not allow ResetClip with SourceCopy compositing during printing.
Anyway we have used another techinque for safe page device printing that should solve this issue. The fix must appear in the next service pack.

I have used latest version of Nevron (12.12.17.12), but now we have another crash with this scenario:

System.Drawing -> Parameter is not valid.

It happens in case if we're trying to print NDrawingDocument, which have any text inside.
