Description

In some graphics contexts, such as printing, the SmoothingMode property is not settable. The Graphics object ignores any attempts to set SmoothingMode (no exception is thrown) and its value just remains "None".

Observed in the .NET Framework 4.8, have not tried in .NET.

Docs can be updated to clarify this. It is expected behavior, and we cannot change it.
