Show the code. Or try this, from MSDN :

// get the default printer
CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);
dlg.GetDefaults();

// is a default printer set up?
HDC hdcPrinter = dlg.GetPrinterDC();
if (hdcPrinter == NULL)
{
MessageBox(_T("Buy a printer!"));
}
else
{
// create a CDC and attach it to the default printer
CDC dcPrinter;
dcPrinter.Attach(hdcPrinter);

// call StartDoc() to begin printing
DOCINFO docinfo;
memset(&docinfo, 0, sizeof(docinfo));
docinfo.cbSize = sizeof(docinfo);
docinfo.lpszDocName = _T("CDC::StartDoc() Code Fragment");

// if it fails, complain and exit gracefully
if (dcPrinter.StartDoc(&docinfo) < 0)
{
MessageBox(_T("Printer wouldn't initalize"));
}
else
{
// start a page
if (dcPrinter.StartPage() < 0)
{
MessageBox(_T("Could not start page"));
dcPrinter.AbortDoc();
}
else
{
// actually do some printing
CGdiObject* pOldFont = dcPrinter.SelectStockObject(SYSTEM_FONT);

     dcPrinter.TextOut(50, 50, \_T("Code Project Rulezz"), 12);

     dcPrinter.EndPage();
     dcPrinter.EndDoc();
     dcPrinter.SelectObject(pOldFont);
  }

}
}

In your view's OnPrepareDC() method, play around with SetMapMode(), SetWindowOrg(), SetViewportOrg(), SetWindowExt(), and SetViewportExt(). I might have left a sample in the code for this article.

How are you creating your font for printing? You can use CreatPointFont(), passing in the printer DC which will account for the higher DPI of the printer as compared to the screen. Or you could use CreateFontIndirect() and calculating the LOGFONT.lfHeight variable depending on the DPI of the printer

logfont.lfHeight = -MulDiv(PointSize, PrinterDC.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY), 72);
MyCFont.CreateFontIndirect(&logfont);

I can't recall where I got the MulDiv formula from, but I am sure it is in MSDN somewhere.

I'm having the same problem. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.
