With SetSimPostscript() turned on:
When printing from Adobe Acrobat, it comes back with a warning that says "The Document Could Not Be Printed".
I still don't have a good feel for when it is appropriate to enable this mode...

Some applications will override the printer driver and generate a Postcript file wen this option is enabled. Examples of such applications are Acrobat, Corel Draw, Quark Express, Photoshop, Publisher, Illustrator (of course all these names are trademarks of their respective owners).
If you need to set SimPostscript ON and still have these applications work properly, you need to add the following call:
SetPrinterParamStr(hPrinter, "PSDisabled", "coreldrw.exe|photoshp.exe|illustrator.exe|AcroRd32.exe");
This will instruct the printer driver NOT to use SimPostscript for the applications listed above.
