class CPrinterConfig
The CPrinterConfig class encapsulates the Windows DEVNAMES and DEVMODE structures used by printing systems for identifying and configuring printers. CPrinterConfig takes care of the messy details involved in allocating and manipulating these variable length structures and provides convenient accessors and methods that allow you to work with them. All physical measurements are in units of 0.1mm (MM_LOMETRIC).NOTE: CPrinterConfig is an abstract class and cannot be directly instantiated. For configuring the printer, you must use the CPrinterConfigImpl template class.
Defined in: PrinterConfig.h
