How do you get the DC (Device Context) of a print job? Are there any example of this in the DDK?

Thanks

What do you need the device context for? In any case, one place for you
to get the device context is in DrvDocumentEvent.

Thanks!

The reason why I’m interested in getting the DC, Is so that I can use the DC
to get the bitmap of the image that is being sent to the printer and send
the image to our Document Imaging Server.

Thanks,
Weston Fryatt

You shouldn’t be looking for the DC to get a raster image of the
document being printed. A printer DC is not valid under all
circumstances within a print driver. So you should use
IPrintOemUni::FilterGraphics or IPrintOemUni::ImageProcessing to obtain
the source bitmap to send to your imaging server. This would be the
recommended approach.
