1. using setPenPosition
I was recently experimenting with printing to various locations using
setPenPosition(Printer,x,y). Through trial and error I found the set of
coordinates(4760,6160) that would print at the lower right corner of the
81/2 X 11 page. When I sent the program to my brother, he got nothing on
the page until cut the cooridinates in half. (2380,3080). I was using
18pt type. I have a HP OfficeJet145 and he has a HP930C. We both have
WinXP Home. It appears that all settings are the same. What am I
missing here? Why won't it print at the same spot that it does on my
printer?

Different printers have different pixel ( dot ) resolutions. Check out
getCtlSize(), which can return the x and y 'page' range of a printer.
No 'trial and error' required ;)

Thanks. I've fixed this now.
