The XpsDocumentWriter class provides the Write and WriteAsync methods that output XPS documents to a data store or print queue. Separate groups of write methods are provided for different content types including DocumentPaginator, Visual, FixedPage, FixedDocument, and FixedDocumentSequence. The XpsDocumentWriter methods enable you to also include a PrintTicket with the document, plus pass additional information to the handlers of the WritingCompleted, WritingProgressChanged, and WritingPrintTicketRequired events.
