  ResetDC( hDC )-> <lSuccess>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 PARAMETER:

  <hDC>      Handle that identifies the printer device context to be updated


 RETURNS:

  <lSuccess> is TRUE if the function is successful


 DESCRIPTION:

  The ResetDC function updates the given device context, based on the
  information in the current DEVMODE structure or supplied by the
  PrinterSetUp dialog, if the printer has not already been
  initialized before. 
  An application will typically use the ResetDC function when a window
  receives a WM_DEVMODECHANGE message. ResetDC can also be used to change
  the paper orientation or paper bins while printing a document. 
  The ResetDC function cannot be used to change the driver name, device name
  or the output port. When the user changes the port connection or device
  name, the application must delete the original device context and create a
  new device context with the new information. 
  Before calling ResetDC, the application must ensure that all objects
  (other than stock objects) that had been selected into the device context
  have been selected out.
