Hi,

Any printer that you buy comes with any driver programs and
instructions you need to print just about anything on it. Many
printer manufacturers call these instructions a "manual".

For a person who asks some very complicated questions, it's
hard for me to believe that you cannot do something as simple
as printing a document.

Xandaz is trying to print a document programmatically, i.e. from Assembly. If you know how to do that, don't hesitate to post your source here.

sample

Code Select Expand


int BoiteDialogImprime()
{
    PRINTDLG pd;
    HWND hwnd = 0;

    // Initialize PRINTDLG
    ZeroMemory(&pd, sizeof(pd));
    pd.lStructSize = sizeof(pd);
    pd.hwndOwner = hwnd;
    pd.hDevMode = NULL;     // Don't forget to free or store hDevMode.
    pd.hDevNames = NULL;     // Don't forget to free or store hDevNames.
    pd.Flags = PD_USEDEVMODECOPIESANDCOLLATE | PD_RETURNDC;
    pd.nCopies = 1;
    pd.nFromPage = 0xFFFF;
    pd.nToPage = 0xFFFF;
    pd.nMinPage = 1;
    pd.nMaxPage = 0xFFFF;

    if (PrintDlg(&pd) == TRUE)
    {
        // GDI calls to render output.

        // Delete DC when done.
        DeleteDC(pd.hDC);

    }
    return 0;
