Hi everyone

I would like to do some printing in my application but I am unable to get some printer data.
I need the physical width and height of the page but PB only gives the size of the printable area. I need it to get the correct DPI value, and to scale the texts correctly. Windows API has the GetDeviceCaps function but I am unable to use it. It needs a handle to the device but PB doesn't seem to give it.

If anybody has any idea please let me know.

You could try:

hdc.l = StartDrawing(PrinterOutput())
value = GetDeviceCaps_(hdc, blahblahblah)
