SUMMARY
=======
In Windows 3.1 and later, print settings can be changed on a page-by-page basis
through the ResetDC() API.
MORE INFORMATION
================
An application can pass a new DEVMODE structure (containing new print settings)
to ResetDC() between pages to change the print settings. For example, this
function makes it possible to change the paper bin or paper orientation for each
page in a print job. Note that ResetDC() cannot be used to change the driver
name, device name, or the output port.
Before calling ResetDC(), the application must ensure that all objects (other
than stock objects) that were previously selected into the printer device
context are selected out.
