I'm using MS Visual C++

I have array, myPictArray[][], that contains a bitmap that I would like to
print using win32 / MFC api calls. How do I do that best ?

I've tried to create a device-context, and attached it to the printer and
then:

for(int x = 0 ; x < xPixels ; x++)
{
  for(int y = 0 ; y < yPixels ; y++)
  {
      if (picArray[x][y]) my_dc->SetPixelV(x,y,0x000000) ; // white
      else my_dc->SetPixelV(x,y,0x00FFFFFF) ;  // black
  }
}

And it works, but it generates a printjob of 96Mb !!!!!
(I'm printing a full page of 4750 x 6800 dots, I think)

Thank You
Troels
