Dan,
I wrote a module a while back to print lines and boxes and you-name-it. The point is that it gets the printer parameters and uses them to allow me to print in absolute units (mm, cm, inches) without worrying about the printer characteristics. The module is called GrPrint.ew in the contribs, and may well contain some of the information you need. I have done a few additions since then but th eone in contribs contains what you are after. As far as stretchBlt() is concerned, that is fine as long as you know how many pixels to the inch in x & y directions. At least, it is fine from a pixmap and I assume the screen can count as that. I used it to print to a PDF but it failed, so I now stretchBlt to a pixmap and the print that to PDF. Hope this is of some use...
Andy
