 Printing a fixed width text file to dot matrix printer

I have an app that need to print text on a preprinted form.  the current
system uses only dot matrix printers.  no combination of fonts and font
sizes work, there are either the wrong number of lines or the wrong number
of characters per line.  I think the problem may be that i'm sending
graphics to the printer, not simply text.  thanks for any help

In that case it's probably better to add a "Generic Text" printer to the
printerlist of Windows to prevent graphics at all. Or use a monospaced font
like Courier for your output.

I've solved the problem.  for anyone interested i simply sent the data
directly to the printer as though writing to a file, effectively bypassing
the printer object.
