1.1     ! root        1: The PRINTER sample does the following:
        !             2: 
        !             3:   - Shows how to print on NT, using both the CreateDC()
        !             4:     and the PrinterDlg() methods for acquiring a printer
        !             5:     HDC. The user is allowed to print different graphical
        !             6:     objects, as well as a complete device font set.
        !             7: 
        !             8:   - Provides complete device capabilities for all printers
        !             9:     & the display.
        !            10: 
        !            11:   - Provides most information (levels 1 and 2) returned
        !            12:     by a call to EnumPrinters.
        !            13: 
        !            14:   - Shows how to enumerate fonts for a particular DC.
        !            15: 
        !            16:   - Illustrates differences between the various mappping
        !            17:     modes.
        !            18: 
        !            19:   - Demonstrates GDI functionality.
        !            20: 
        !            21: 
        !            22: The main application window contains both a standard menu
        !            23: as well as a toolbar. The standard menu has a "Mapping Modes"
        !            24: submenu which switches the current mapping modes for both the
        !            25: app window and printed documents. The "Graphics" submenu
        !            26: allows for selecting whether to display various graphical
        !            27: objects or enumerating the fonts. Again, all settings affect
        !            28: both the drawing of the client area and printed documents.
        !            29: 
        !            30: The toolbar contains 5 buttons and a dropdown combobox.
        !            31: Starting from the left:
        !            32: 
        !            33:   - The PRTDLG button causes the PrintDlg() API to be called,
        !            34:     which in turn brings up a dialog box allowing user to
        !            35:     set printing options and print a document.
        !            36: 
        !            37:   - The PRINT button causes a DC to be created for whatever
        !            38:     printer is listed in the edit field of the combobox. If
        !            39:     "Display" is listed then a message box comes up prompting
        !            40:     the user to select a printer.
        !            41: 
        !            42:   - The ENUM button ("#") causes the EnumPrinters() API to
        !            43:     be called to request both level 1 and 2 info for all
        !            44:     LOCAL and FAVORITE printers. This information is then
        !            45:     entered in a dialog box and displayed to the user in
        !            46:     readable form.
        !            47: 
        !            48:   - The DEVCAP button ("?") causes PRINTER to query all the
        !            49:     capabilities for the device listed in the edit field, and
        !            50:     display them in readable form to the user.
        !            51: 
        !            52:   - The DELTA button causes the combobox to be updated with
        !            53:     the most current Print Manager configuration. (E.g. if
        !            54:     the user starts PRINTER and then creates another printer
        !            55:     in Print Manager, then they should push the DELTA button
        !            56:     so the new printer will appear in the combobox.)
