Getting good printed output from Dpaint:
  Don't let DPAINT print for you, it uses the wrong control codes to setup
the printer driver. It's far more interested in keeping the aspect
ratio correct than rendering your image. I typically print out my
dpaint images with a program called "screendump" which C Scheppner of CBM
posted here along time ago. It lets you set all the important printer
parameters and then grabs the highest screen and prints it.
I routinely print out 640 by 400 pixel images as EXACTLY 640x400 dot images.
I blame Dpaint for not giving me direct control, but I have gotten good
output by using other better tools.
