Summary: CDC.StartDoc() does not spool to file

Initial Comment:
The documentation states that CDC.StartDoc() has a
second parameter "outputFile": "Use this to spool to a
file. Omit to send to the printer."

As far as i can see, this parameter has no effect.  I
use it as follows:

dc = win32ui.CreateDC()
dc.CreatePrinterDC(printerName)
dc.StartDoc("my print job",r"c:\temp\temp.txt")
dc.SetMapMode(win32con.MM_TWIPS)
dc.StartPage()
... print something...
dc.EndDoc()

This parameter would be useful because I am writing
test cases, and I don't want them to really print
something by accident.

I have verified that we are setting the lpszOutput element
of the DOCINFO structure.  I'm afraid I have no idea why it
isn't working for you, but I can't see a bug in pywin32
here.  Please re-open if you think there is something we are
doing wrong.
