Silent printing in UWP follow up

Last year Stefan Wick provided an answer to a question about silent printing in UWP applications How to silent print from a UWP application, along with a sample app showing a solution.

That app won't work for me, as it can't access local settings. The error is that it needs Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract 3.0.0.0. The UWP project has access to that, but the Win32 project does not, and I can't figure out how to reference it (Nuget won't recognize it and I can't find a viable dll to download).

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Or any alternatives to get UWP to print directly to a USB connected receipt printer without requiring the user to see the print preview dialog?

Thanks!

You can reference the Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract directly from the References folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\References\. Specifically this library is in the 10.0.17763.0\Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract\3.0.0.0 subfolder.

For more info on how to reference the libraries see this blogpost.
