There are 3 ways to print. Which one do you use?

DOS method
1) CreateFile() WriteFile()

RAW method
2) OpenPrinter() StartDocPrinter() StartPagePrinter() WritePrinter()

DC method
3) OpenPrinter() CreateDC() StartDoc() StartPage() ExtTextOut()

Method 1 shouldn't FF unless you send one.
Method 2...maybe you can get away without the StartPagePrinter?
Method 3..I think will always FF.
