I am getting ready to try it this way. I am having a problem assigning the
value to the dmDuplex value in the DEVMODE structure. The following code
gives me an error   Pointer to structure required on left side of -> or ->*

    char ADevice[256]={0}, ADriver[256]={0}, APort[256]={0};
    THandle  ADeviceMode;
    Printer()->GetPrinter(ADevice, ADriver, APort, ADeviceMode);
    if (rgDuplex->ItemIndex==0)
    {
       ADeviceMode->dmDuplex=DMDUP_VERTICAL;  // Error here
       //ADeviceMode.dmDuplex=DMDUP_VERTICAL;  // Also gives Error here
    }
    else
    {
       ADeviceMode->dmDuplex=DMDUP_SIMPLEX;  // Error also here
    }
    Printer()->SetPrinter(ADevice, ADriver, APort, ADeviceMode);

One final thing how does Printer()->NewPage; differ from the StartPage() and
EndPage()?

Thanks again John
