RE: HTML to PDF

[Walter Wang [MSFT]]

Hi Jon,

Using CHtmlView or the WebBrowser control directly should be the easiest
way to do the printing. However, it does have one issue: it either prints
to the default printer without user interaction; or it pops up a print
dialog to let user choose a printer; there's no way to choose the printer
in code. The only workaround is to change the default printer before
invoking the printing function. This is a known issue in the internal IE
interfaces' implementation.

You can find a C# example here, although it's not written in MFC, the
principal should be similar.

#Print HTML in C# with or without the web browser control and the print
dialog - The Code Project - C# Programming

Hope this helps.
