PrintPagesToFileA
Rendering and printing
Description
The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to PrintPagesToFile and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page
Renders a list of page ranges from the selected document to the specified printer. The print output is directed to the specified spool file
Not all printer drivers support the DocInfo.lpszOutput field so results may vary
