XPS:Config Modules DllGetClassObject for IPrintTicketPovider not invoked

Would appreciate if you could help us in solving our problem.
PROBLEM: We have a GDI driver, and we want to plugin a IPrintTicketProvider to the config module. But the DllGetClassObject of the Config Module is not getting invoked, when we print from Office 2007 (WinWord)
We could not use XPSViewer (Vista Beta2) because it seems to open up a blank IE7, and keeps showing the progress bar, but does not open the .XPS document.
The .XPS document was created with the XPS Document Writer (Vista Beta2).
Please let us know if we have missed out something.
Thanks and regards,

Office 2007 (winword) is still a win32 based application.

Existing Win32 applications are not PT/PC aware so they are not calling any of the new PT/PC APIs, therefore these Win32 applications will not trigger the system to call into your IPrintTicketProvider implementation.

For that to happen, print from a WinFX application to a GDI driver, it will invoke the IPrintTicketProvidor implementation.
