I don't use PrintDlg. 
The following is commented out of my code, so this might not be 100%

	PrintDlg(&pd);
	printerDC=pd.hDC

	 /* set up your own font */
	oldPrinterFont=setup_font(rows,cols);

	DOCINFO	lpdi = {0};
	lpdi.cbSize=sizeof(DOCINFO);
	lpdi.lpszDocName=ReportLabel;
	lpdi.lpszOutput=(pd.Flags & PD_PRINTTOFILE) ? "FILE:" : NULL;
//NULL for printerDC
	lpdi.lpszDatatype="RAW";	// Windows 95 only; ignored on
Windows NT
	lpdi.fwType=0;			// Banding: Windows 95 only;
ignored on Windows NT

	printerJob=StartDoc(printerDC,&lpdi);
	if( printerJob<1 )
	{	/* probably should report the error */
		SelectObject(printerDC,oldPrinterFont);	//restore
original font
		DeleteObject(printerFont);
		DeleteDC(printerDC);
		return FALSE;
	};
	StartPage(printerDC);
	SetTextAlign(printerDC,TA_LEFT+TA_TOP+TA_NOUPDATECP);
	SetBkMode (printerDC, TRANSPARENT);
	return TRUE;
