Thank you - this can be a good start.
Where and what do you assign to pInfo->m_lpUserData?

This is your member, anything you would like.

struct YourPrintStruct
{
    //Your stuff
    ...
    CPrintDialogEx* pPrintDialog;
    //This is for the print range object for CPrintDialogEx
    std::vector< PRINTPAGERANGE > printRange;

    YourPrintStruct( )
        ...
        ,pPrintDialog( NULL )
    {
        printRange.resize( 64 );
    }
    ~YourPrintStruct( )
    {
        if( pPrintDialog )
            delete pPrintDialog;
    }
};

And somewhere before you call that ::DoPreparePrinting:

    YourPrintStruct* pInfoEx= new YourPrintStruct;
    //check and set other stuff
    pInfoEx->pPrintDialog=
     new CPrintDialogEx( PD_HIDEPRINTTOFILE, this );

    //if you have some other printer
    SomeSetPrinterCall( ...
    &pInfoEx->pPrintDialog->m_pdex.hDevMode,
    &pInfoEx->pPrintDialog->m_pdex.hDevNames )

    pInfo->m_lpUserData= pInfoEx;

....
It ends up becoming accessible through my print object. In
OnEndPrinting, delete it.

    YourPrintStruct* pExInfo= pReport->GetPreviewExInfo( );
    //or just cast pInfo->m_lpUserData
    //Finish using it
    delete pExInfo;

Best, Dan.
