Windows actually takes control of the printing process away from the application. Given the complexities of current printing technology, attempting to do so would not only be difficult, but also, under certain cirumstances, produce erratic results.


I know out of experience that the windows printer driver defines the page settings, and that the control codes don't work. Only when you only use ??? or write directly to the printer port using the file functions, the printer driver can be bypassed.
