Printing with arbitrary parameters

[pikoll]

Hi,

I am trying to develop a Delphi application on Windows XP, which has to print at some times. The printers available are Linux printers, shared via Samba, and appear as any standard Windows printer. I have tried to use them from Delphi and it works well.
However, the print server on Linux adds specific functionalities (like adding a specific watermark background on each page). In order to use them, I have to pass some parameters to the printer (background=back1.ps for example).
I do not know how I can pass arbitrary parameters via Delphi. Every libraries I have found allow only standard parameter settings (page format, number of copie,...). Does somebody know a way to do this ?

Thank you

Hi,
I don't know how to manage this, but the more "inside" you can reach is via GetDeviceCaps (see

Hope this be usefully.
