D2DERR_PRINT_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED

D2DERR_PRINT_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED means that ID2D1Device::CreatePrintControl could not find a printer package target type that the Direct2D print control supports. The failure is about printer/document-target format compatibility.

What to check

Check the package target types offered by the printer or document target.
Verify that the Direct2D print-control path is appropriate for the selected printer and driver.
Provide a different print format or fallback rendering path when no compatible target type is available.

Microsoft notes that print-control creation can be synchronous, so do not block a UI thread while probing a slow print server or driver.
