Oh, and all the code is under my control. I originally was drawing direct

the printer. It became a hassle as changes were made to the programs.
That's
when I found "PrintPictureToFitPage" and life became easier.

I wonder why? You can set the scale mode of the printer to make iterating
over your data nearly painless. Add to that the text gets rendered
significantly
better than copying text images from the screen.

Its (seems to be) common practice for applications that offer printouts
of their display to use a draw routine that accepts a parameter to
indicate
the receiving object. Then passing in a Form, Picturebox, or Printer
object
results in the output being directed to the appropreate object with
minimal
effect on any other code.

For anyone interested in seeing the actual screen, before and after
printing, go to my web site

http://home.surewest.net/galen/galen.html under Downloads.

The first three projects shown on the main page utilize the printing
technique in question.

On the Download page it is the first item. A little slow loading as I used
BMP files to try to retain resolution.
