Windvi & Printing

I need some advice. I'm debugging/implementing printing. There are 2 ways to do it :

- through dvips, this is not a real problem because gs handles everything
- natively, which makes me asking : how can we guess the right MF mode ?

When using dvips, the mf mode and bdpi by default are used. But when trying to
print natively, the right mf mode and bdpi should be used. It is easy to retrieve
bdpi by asking the printer device context, but the mf mode is less obvious to guess.
Any idea on how to choose it ?
