Don't use the low level printer driver!  It is about to disappear!  Currently
it calls the high level driver to get the work done (rolls reversed!).  Instead
do the equivalent of whats on page 155 of IM-II.  Use CopyBits to do the
drawing.  Be aware that you may have to band the image (do mulitple CopyBits
calls for the image) if the program is low on memory - otherwise you might
not get any output.
