Draw, and StretchDraw fail on many printers.

You may also be told to use StretchDIBits(),
however, StretchDIBits() requires about 2000
lines of low level graphics support code to work
well, else many of your customers may receive
blank or garbled pages

If you do not need to deploy your applicaition,
and it will only run on the printer, computer, and
operating system you are using now, then use
StretchDraw().

If you plan to deploy your applicaiton, or you will be
using your application on other printers, computers,
and other versions of Windows, then you will need
to invest in a reliable printing unit. Take a look at
