I would like to print information at the correct coordinates on a pre printed form.If I understood correctly my readings, the coordinates given to a "TextOut" Printer Device Context depend on the resolution of the printer. Am I right?
Yes, but the exact same thing is true of on-screen windows. You can use GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSX) to get the pixels per inch resolution. There's also a LOGPIXELSY, but unless you have a 40-year-old graphics adapter, they are the same. The DeviceCapabilities API returns a DEVMODE structure that has detailed information about the printer.
I don't have another printer to test but my underlying question is : does the coordinates depend on the printer?
Absolutely, yes. Modern printers can be 300, 600, or 1200 dots per inch. Label printers can use even wilder values.
