After applying Windows KB from March 2021, unexpected printing behaviors happen through SAPSprint, this may include:

• Elements of the document might print as solid black/color boxes or might be missing, including barcodes, QR codes, and graphics elements, such as logos.
• Table lines might be missing. Other alignment or formatting issues might also be present.
• Printing to some printers might result in a blank page or label.

Following errors are recorded in the SAPSprint log file:
Error: Error -1 from EndPage.
Error: put_block failed at new_page()
Leave PrintSAPWINFile with return code 10.
