My comment:
DEVMODE data for a printer can be obtained by calling either the DocumentProperties or the PrintDlg API function. If required, the latter can display the Print dialog box allowing to adjust the printer job settings manually.

When adjusted accordingly, such DEVMODE structure is used to create a device context (DC) for the printer.
