[Dev-C++] Printing

[Terry O. <te...@st...>]

Ok.  Let me be a little more specific.  I have been programming in c in
a unix and linux environment for years.  I know how to format and print
output in that environment, whether it be to the print spooler or
directly through a serial port or whatever.  Windows is a different
critter.  If I want to submit output to the windows print spooler, how
do I do that?  If there are multiple printers available to the windows
workstation, how do I allow the user to select which printer?  Are there
tools to format the output; fonts, pitches, scalable graphics?  I have a
complete suite of text based accounting applications, written in c that
I intend to port to a windows environment and I need to know if Dev-cpp,
MySQL and FLTK will get me where I need to go.  It is my understanding
that FLTK 1.2 will eventually support print formatting.  It=92s the
eventually part that worries me.  Maybe there is a better way to go.  I
have given WxWindows a look as well.  I did some prototyping with MySQL
and FLTK in Cygwin, but I would prefer to use Dev-cpp.=20
