Sorry to say that printing in MFC is always a big pain. The doc/view
architecture is designed to hide most of the ugly stuff, and if you
don't use it (and there is good reason to avoid it when possible), you
have to deal with the quirks of the print model yourself.

It can be done, if you have a high tolerance for frustration. That's
my experience, anyway.
