Exception: "Element Not Found" while calling StartDoc() in Visual Studio 2022 debugger

Question

I am attempting to print from a Desktop application using the following APIs:

• StartDoc (...)
• StartPage (...)
• TextOut (...)

When I run my application using Visual Studio 2022 Debugger, StartDoc() throws an exception as shown in the image below. However, when I run the .exe file directly, it works without any issues. Could you please explain the reason behind this behavior of the VS2022 Debugger?"

// Output window

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I suggest you could ignore that exception: Debug -> Windows -> Exception Settings, C++ Exception, and then uncheck winrt::hresult_error.

Thank you.
