Printer Device Contexts

Windows provides a single type of printer device context that can be used when printing on a dot-matrix printer, ink-jet printer, laser printer, or plotter. An application creates a printer device context by calling the CreateDC function and supplying the appropriate arguments (the name of the printer driver, the name of the printer, the file or device name for the physical output medium, and other initialization data). When an application has finished printing, it deletes the printer device context by calling the DeleteDC function. An application must delete (rather than release) a printer device context; the ReleaseDC function fails when an application attempts to use it to release a printer device context.
