[Mono-dev] Status of System.Drawing.Printing

[Kornél Pál]

The things you experience are not bugs or issues. They are simply not
implemented yet.

Except some special cases when NotImplementedException is the expected
result NotImplementedException means that the requested functionality is not
yet implemented.

According to Peter printig has low priority at the MWF team.

I think printing is not working at all yet so there is no use to use
PrinterSettings if you cannot print.

If you want to implement some missing functionality you are welcome to
contribute it and will be included in Mono.
