        DOCINFO                di;
        char*                szMessage;

        memset (&pd, 0, sizeof(PRINTDLG));
        memset (&di, 0, sizeof(DOCINFO));

        di.cbSize = sizeof(DOCINFO);
        di.lpszDocName = "Test";

        pd.lStructSize = sizeof(PRINTDLG);
        pd.Flags = PD_PAGENUMS | PD_RETURNDC;
        pd.nFromPage = 1;
        pd.nToPage = 1;
        pd.nMinPage = 1;
        pd.nMaxPage = 1;

        szMessage = 0;

        if (PrintDlg (&pd))
        {
                if (pd.hDC)
                {
                        if (StartDoc (pd.hDC, &di) != SP_ERROR)
                        {
                                StartPage (pd.hDC);

                                TextOut (pd.hDC, 0, 0, "", 15);

                                EndPage (pd.hDC);

                                EndDoc (pd.hDC);

                                szMessage = "Printed.";
                        }

        else
        {
                szMessage = "Canceled or printer could not be setup.";
        }

        if (szMessage)
        {
                MessageBox (NULL, szMessage, "Print Test", MB_OK);
        }

        return 0;

Still cutting and pasting as your compleate code has not be run thru a compiler.

Learning much?



to get the common dialogs to show you need to include

commdlg.h

watch out for truncation in the DevMode->dmDeviceName if using a network printer (or one with a long driver name).

Don't forget to free the GDI resources you are allocating.

Use winmain() not main() in win32 apps

GOOD GOD ANDEW!!!! i knew that one! im in the same info tech class as you and you didn;t ask me first!@!!! god damnit man!
