What I would recommend as a solution for MOST printers, is to print the 
graphics, and then 'roll the platen backwards', or in the case of a
laser printer, move the 'current active position' back toward the top
of the page. Then, after retreating, print the text.  You could, of course,
do it in the opposite order.  The only REAL problem with this solution is
that there are some STUPID printers that can't roll backwards.
