One of the most intimidating aspects of Windows programming is printing. Even printing a single document involves lot of work. Fortunately, because of Windows� device independence the same GDI functions that we used to draw on the screen can be used to draw on a sheet of paper. While printing a document, there are lots of details that one has to account for. These include paginating the output, print previewing, provision for terminating an unfinished job, etc. Print previewing permits the user to see exactly how the printed output would look like before it is sent to the printer. The application framework provides a lot of supportive code, which makes the process of writing code for printing and print previewing that bit easier.
