SUMMARY
The sample program REPMKR in the Microsoft Software Library demonstrates the code required to print a report. The report generator prints plain-text reports in monospace fonts either on a printer or in a print-preview window. The code to handle printer display contexts is encapsulated in the report generator code. The interface does not require the host program to work with printing code.

NOTE: This sample was originally written for Windows 3.0. Applications targeted for Windows 3.1 should modify this sample's code to utilize the Common Dialog boxes.
