Write a wrapper API that expose a common interface and hides
windows/linux API under it, e.g.
class Printer
{
// ...
void print(Document doc);
};
void Printer::print(Document doc)
{
#if defined(WIN32)
// print using Windows API
#else
// use linux API
#endif
}
Well, its not going to be that simple. But I hope u got the idea.
