While upgrading PDF from 23.6.0 to 24.3.0, I encountered these 2 errors.
Value of type ‘PageSettings’ cannot be converted to ‘PageSettings’.
Value of type ‘PrinterSettings’ cannot be converted to ‘PrinterSettings’.
PdfViewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings seems to be accepting PageSettings and PrintSettings only from Aspose.PDF.Printing and not System.Drawing.Priting any more. Had there been any such change. Can you please assist soon and confirm.
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings was replaced with Aspose.Pdf.Printing.PrinterSettings starting from Aspose.PDF 23.10. This is made to support printing under Linux as well as under Windows.

Note: PrintDialog isn’t available in the NET Core Version 3.1 and later. Can it be invoked from Application.Current.Dispatcher.CurrentThread ? Check this.
