class CPrinter
This class encapsulates a Windows printer. It is basically a wrapper class that provides easy access to the printer API functions. The class can be passed an existing printer handle or it can create one by opening a specified printer. This class can be used in conjunction with the CPrinterConfig class to open a printer. It is also used in conjunction with the CPrintJob class. Using this class you can get a list of print jobs currently spooled to a printer. You can also reset the printer or even delete the printer.
