Printing of HTML markup with C++

I was curious if I can embed printing of HTML markup in my C++ application? Here's what I need:

  1. Ability to specify which printer to print to.
  2. Ability to change paper size.
  3. Ability to specify margins/gutter, etc.
  4. Ability to let end-user preview the result.

Pros:

Cons:

  • It's not a print-HTML-directly library

MFC has a CHtmlView class that is part of their Document/View architecture. Hence, you can create a rather simple MDI "Web Browser" in MFC pretty easily.
