Null Argument Exception When Printing to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer

I have a problem with printing in WPF, it happens consistently on my main development machine but I haven’t been able to reproduce it anywhere else.

And I have a solution.

If anyone else has the same problem please write a comment to this post and I’ll publish my solution, I just want to know if anyone is interested before I spend the time describing the problem and my workaround.

I get an exception of type System.ArgumentNullException

And the call stack is:
