My code keeps Jamming the Printer

Stoic Joker

Greetings
I'm working on a (plain text)MDI text editor & I can't get the print function to work, It just jams the printer. The printer(HP, InkJet type) is attached to another machine on my network(all the other software is "happy" with it, Its just my code. I've tried to fine a code sample that will work, But everything I've found is either MFC, also jams it or both. I'm NOT using MFC(I never use MFC). I'd post the code I'm working with but, at this point it's so badly commented I can't even follow it

Does anyone have an idea where I chould(or should) attack this? Or have a (nonMFC) code sample?

I'm using MSVC++6 & the rest of the prog works on Win95-XP


Thank You

Check if you follow the correct pritning technology:
[code]
StartDoc();
for (int i=0; i<nPages; i++) {
StartPage ();
// Setup the printer DC here: fonts, colors, etc.
// your code for page printing...
EndPage ();
}
EndDoc();
[/code]

Um...


[code]
StartDoc(); // <-I Think I'm Okay Here

for (int i=0; i<nPages; i++) { /* Using( or trying to)PD_USEDEVMODECOPIESANDCOLLATE to avoid this part(bad idea? */

StartPage (); /* This has to be working or the printer wouldn't jam, yes? */

// Setup the printer DC here: fonts, colors, etc.
// your code for page printing...

/* perhaps these(above) two are where I'm screwing up, All I'm trying to do is plain(black & white) text. The MSDN Sample I found "How to Print a bitmap" has not been helpfull */

EndPage ();
}
EndDoc();
[/code]

I completely Lost on this. I've spent two days on the MSDN & can't get this to work.
