The sizeof(PRINTDLG) will give 66 if you modify the Win32 headers to make
the PRINTDLG structure
packed. I did this by changing the line of Windows32/Structures.h

} PRINTDLG, *LPPRINTDLG;

To

} PACKED;

typedef struct tagPD PRINTDLG, *LPPRINTDLG;

Where I had earlier defined PACKED to be __attribute__((packed)) in
Windows32/Defines.h

Perhaps this will fix the problem?

Colin.
