Convert Screen Rect to Printer Rect

[Gilfrog]

I have a Rect say (0, 16, 0, 154) and i want to print it out with that same rect on a printer. on the printer dc i say int nOldMapMode = dc.SetMapMode(MM_HIENGLISH); dc.DPtoLP(rect); it converts it to (0, -27, 0, 257) wich is way to small for the printer. How do i convert this rect to the same rect for a printer? Scott

HDC hdcPrinter;
CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);
// get a dc for the screen and attach it to a CDC
CDC dcScreen;
HDC hdcScreen = ::GetDC(NULL);
dcScreen.Attach(hdcScreen);

if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
hdcPrinter=dlg.GetPrinterDC();

long logicalPixelsPerInchX\_Screen = GetDeviceCaps(hdcScreen, LOGPIXELSX); 
long logicalPixelsPerInchY\_Screen = GetDeviceCaps(hdcScreen, LOGPIXELSY); 

long logicalPixelsPerInchX\_Printer = GetDeviceCaps(hdcPrinter, LOGPIXELSX);
long logicalPixelsPerInchY\_Printer = GetDeviceCaps(hdcPrinter, LOGPIXELSY);

}
