You must check to see if the printer is
Raster Capable by useing:

GetDeviceCaps(hdc, RASTERCAPS)

value returned should be:
RC_BITBLT or RC_STRETCHBLT etc...etc.
if the printer is capable

Wolfs print_pic( ) should be the perfect solution.
if the printer is capable..

Not trying to step on your toes Wolf just thought
I'd mention this cause I ran into a few printers
that would not print a Bitmap and this is how I
check to see if I can first...
