SUMMARY
Prior to Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, OpenGL applications that needed to print a rendered scene had to render their scene onto a DIB Section and then print that DIB section. With Windows NT 4.0, OpenGL applications can now render directly to a printer DC provided the printer is backed by a metafile spooler.

MORE INFORMATION
Under Windows 95, in order for OpenGL applications to print a rendered scene, they must follow the older method of rendering to a DIB Section, then print that DIB Section.
