Expected behavior:
No exception should be thrown

Minimal repro:
Try to execute the following code
new PrintDialog().PrintVisual(new Button(), "test");

Thanks for reporting this - I hit this independently recently as well. We had renamed PresentationNative_v0400.dll to PresentationNative_cor3.dll in .NET Core 3.0.

Turns out that there are a few P/Invokes from System.Printing.dll into PresentationNative that had not been updated to account for this change in name.

In addition to this, I also found a few more places where we continue to do ETW tracing based on old names (esp. wpfgfx_v0400.dll - which has now been renamed to wpfgfx_cor3.dll). This is likely benign at this point, but needs to be fixed before RTM as well.

This should have been fixed now. Would you mind trying a recent Preview build from https://github.com/dotnet/core-sdk?

[ryalanms]

Yes, this was fixed in our internal repo last week. Everything should be working in recent builds.

Thanks, @pavelovcharov. There were some incorrect Platform Invoke declarations that have been fixed. Please reactivate if the bug appears again.
