3 sending commands to the printer through the driver an application program can send commands to the printer through the language monitor, using the getprinterdata function. The command sent can be either a simple command or a request for the printer to return data. If data is to be returned, the ca...

4 printing a document the startdoc function must be called first to let the printer driver know that a print is being started. After sending all the pages of image data, enddoc must be called to inform the driver that the print is complete. 4.1 startdoc definition int startdoc(hdc hdcprinter, docinf...
4.3 startpage, endpage definition prior to sending each page of image data, startpage must be called. After all data for a page is sent, endpage must be called. If you are creating a double- sided card the sequence of calls should be like this: startdoc(hdcprinter, &docinfo); startpage(hdcprinter); ...
4.5 setdibitstodevice definition the setdibitstodevice function sets the pixels in the specified rectangle on the device that is associated with the destination device context using color data from a device-independent bitmap (dib).
