Other than the obvious of StartDocPrinter() has also a HANDLE passed to it, what is the difference between these two? Which is the best to use to output to a printer? There seems to be two completely separate families for these two. The StartDocPrinter() family apparently has a WritePrinter(), but I don't think that is necessary for the StartDoc() family???
The StartDoc() family of functions works through the GDI. The StartDocPrinter() family of functions is for writing pretty much raw data to the spool.
The WritePrinter() function is for writing raw bytes to the spool. The StartDoc() family works by just using the GDI.
StartDoc() is the proper family of functions to use for most printing.
That is the conclusion that I had made, just wanted verification. Thanks!
