Strictly speaking, you can use the PrintDocument method without ever opening the dialog. In that sense, the control can be used as an unseen printing component. But for performance reasons, it would be better to use either the AddJob method or one of the many Write and WriteAsync methods of the XpsDocumentWriter.

Do not confuse this class, System.Windows.Controls::PrintDialog, with System.Windows.Forms::PrintDialog. The latter is used with Windows Forms applications. System.Windows.Controls::PrintDialog is used with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications.
