One problem using this method: if your printer goes
offline - i.e. someone pushes the offline button, the
thread will hang and it is very difficult to recover
in code.

There is a better and even easier to do this.

Ther is a printer api in WIN32 consisting of OpenPrinter(), WritePrinter() StarDocPrinter(), StartPagePrinter() etc.

If you want direct line printing, call StartPagePrinter for every page and configure Printer Driver Spool settings (for NT) to print directly to printer.

Using this api, you can take advantage of default printer settings, and your printings tasks can be spooled.

Ciao,

Gunnar
