Printing Bitmaps

[Josh Kasten]

How do I print bitmaps? I've done text but StretchBlt doesn't work for pinting. StretchBlt works for drawing to the screen.

Petzold, 5th edition, Chapter 13 - Using the Printer, Application - DevCaps2.
Amazing utility for exploring the printers and printing code in general.

And btw, DevCap2 told me that in fact my laser printer supports both
BitBlt and StretchBlt, but does not support FloodFill.
