Hi there,
I am having a problem about the printer in windows XP.
Does anyone know how to print out the image (JPG) file from the printer by c++ and WinAPI?
Any idea will be helpful.
Appreciate it.

The idea is to handle this as usual bitmap printing. Load JPG with GDI+, open printer DC, blit an image to DC. End of story.
Hey Igor Vartanov,
Thanks, let me do some research about it.

No, wrong method.Quote:

Just print it directly with COM.
:D Please explain this "directly with COM".Quote:

But I am confused too.
Would u please have more explanation.
Also I am thinking another way.
Actually, I am modifying a virtual printer code.
So, when the user generate the "image" file through virtual printer, I need to print the file out via the real printer too.
Therefore, I am thinking whether it is possible to copy the print job to the real printer's queue in the same time.
Sorry, I am a newbie in Winapi programming.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, with COM and IE (you let IE doing all the printing)Quote:
