Exceptions

Remarks

OnStartPrint is called immediately after PrintDocument raises the BeginPrint event.

OnStartPrint creates the Graphics object used in printing. After OnStartPrint is called, the OnStartPage method sets the Graphics object to a graphic of a single page. The OnEndPage method clears the Graphics object, while the OnEndPrint method deallocates the object.

OnStartPrint verifies that the printer settings are valid.
