But the first option is not "this app can't run on your Xbox". It is "This app possibly cannot run after trying to print".



Code like this often runs during application startup. It's not just printers.


The situation is "What should happen if an app tries to print on an Xbox?". I do not believe code that tries to print often runs on app startup.


Printing is one example of this pattern - there are plenty of reasons APIs end up unsupported

Printing may also run on startup. Consider software for a vinyl cutter which looks for the device when beginning.

Then my point stands.

> Consider software for a vinyl cutter

On Xbox?? Good grief.
