Use PrintDocument class to print the document directly.

using Spire.Printing;

IPrintDocumentStream documentStream;
if (System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform.Windows))
{
    // Windows
    documentStream = new XpsPrintDocument("test.xps");
}
else
{
    // Non-Windows
    documentStream = new PdfPrintDocument("test.pdf");
}
PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument(documentStream);
printDocument.PrintSettings.PaperSize = PaperSize.A4;
//Check if duplex printing is supported
if (printDocument.PrintSettings.CanDuplex)
{
    //Print in duplex
    printDocument.PrintSettings.Duplex = Duplex.Vertical;
}
printDocument.PrintSettings.SelectPageRange(2, 5);
// Print to file
printDocument.PrintSettings.PrintToFile("toXps.xps");
printDocument.Print();

Implement cross-platform printing with Spire.PDF

using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Printing;

//Check the system
bool isWindows = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform.Windows);
using (PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument())
{
    //Use Spire.PDF to save documents as. xps or. pdf document streams 
    pdfDocument.LoadFromFile("test.pdf");
    Spire.Pdf.FileFormat fileFormat = !isWindows ? Spire.Pdf.FileFormat.PDF : Spire.Pdf.FileFormat.XPS;
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    pdfDocument.SaveToStream(stream, fileFormat);

    //Convert to IPrintDocumentStream according to the system
    IPrintDocumentStream pdfStream = !isWindows ? new PdfPrintDocument(stream) : new XpsPrintDocument(stream);

    //Print
    PrintDocument printPdf = new PrintDocument(pdfStream);
    printPdf.PrintSettings.SelectPageRange(1, 1);
    printPdf.Print();

    //Dispose
    printPdf.Dispose();
}

Implement cross-platform printing with Spire.Presentation

using Spire.Presentation;
using Spire.Printing;

//Check the system
bool isWindows = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform.Windows);
using (Presentation ppt = new Presentation())
{
    //Use Spire.Presentation to save documents as. xps or. pdf document streams 
    ppt.LoadFromFile("test.pptx");
    Spire.Presentation.FileFormat fileFormat = !isWindows ? Spire.Presentation.FileFormat.PDF : Spire.Presentation.FileFormat.XPS;
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    ppt.SaveToFile(stream, fileFormat);

    //Convert to IPrintDocumentStream according to the system
    IPrintDocumentStream pptStream = !isWindows ? new PdfPrintDocument(stream) : new XpsPrintDocument(stream);

    //Print
    PrintDocument printPpt = new PrintDocument(pptStream);
    printPpt.PrintSettings.SelectPageRange(1, 1);
    printPpt.Print();

    //Dispose
    printPpt.Dispose();
}

Implement cross-platform printing with Spire.XLS

using Spire.Printing;
using Spire.Xls;

//Check the system
bool isWindows = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(System.Runtime.InteropServices.OSPlatform.Windows);

{
    //Use Spire.Xls to save documents as. xps or. pdf document streams 
    wb.LoadFromFile("test.xlsx");
    Spire.Xls.FileFormat fileFormat = !isWindows ? Spire.Xls.FileFormat.PDF : Spire.Xls.FileFormat.XPS;
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    wb.SaveToStream(stream, fileFormat);

    //Convert to IPrintDocumentStream according to the system
    IPrintDocumentStream xlsStream = !isWindows ? new PdfPrintDocument(stream) : new XpsPrintDocument(stream);

    //Print
    PrintDocument printxls = new PrintDocument(xlsStream);

{
    //Use Spire.Doc to save documents as. xps or. pdf document streams 
    document.LoadFromFile(@"test.docx");
    Spire.Doc.FileFormat fileFormat = !isWindows ? Spire.Doc.FileFormat.PDF : Spire.Doc.FileFormat.XPS;
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    document.SaveToStream(stream, fileFormat);

    //Convert to IPrintDocumentStream according to the system
    IPrintDocumentStream docStream = !isWindows ? new PdfPrintDocument(stream) : new XpsPrintDocument(stream);

    //Print
    PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument(docStream);
    printDoc.PrintSettings.SelectPageRange(1, 1);
    printDoc.Print();

    //Dispose
