Proposal: A modern PrintDialog

Summary Currently the only PrintDialog that WPF has is the standard one and it doesn’t look modern compared to the PrintDialog that UWP apps use. It would be great if WPF could have a better, more modern PrintDialog. Something like the following image:

Rationale The WinRT API exposes a PrintManager class that allows to UWP apps to use a modern PrintDialog, which also has a better UX because it integrates print preview functionality out of the box. In comparison, the PrintDialog that WPF apps can use it’s the classic one, which looks out of place when used in conjunction with this library. Besides, since printing is a basic requirement in many applications, the choice of having a modern PrintDialog available for WPF apps would allow to implement printing with better UI and UX way simpler for many devs.

Nice to see you’re planning to develop a modern Print Dialog in the near future. I myself have explored the option 2 and I’ve made something like this:

Thanks for the info. This will be a priority after 0.9 is released.
