Summary: How to print IFF files without being fanzy?

Are there anyone out there in net-land that have a program that
will print IFF files as they are? That is - no perspective. I have
often wanted to draw some illustrations, mainly consisting of boxes
arcs and circles (Petri-nets) and some text. They look just great
in DPAINT II.

B U T then.

When I print the picture, the pixels come out in different sizes!!
That makes the text (esp. the smaller sizes) look like it is a very
bad quallity. What on the screen looks like:
* * * * *
 * * * *
* * * * *

comes out like this:
** *  * ** **
** *  * ** **
  * ** *  *
** *  * ** **

Anybody can suggest something?

I am aware that this non-uniform printing of pixels are used to make the
printed picture have the same proportions, but I am willing to give that
up.

Thanks in advance.
