I'm using a Star Micronics NX10 and a ProGrappler.  When I print out something
from DeluxePaint II, the image gets scrunched together.  That is, the printer
output produces an image that is somewhat wider and shorter than the original
graphics screen.  I am attributing this to the difference in aspect ratio
between printer and Super Hires screen.  Does this occur with all printer
drivers?  At times it becomes quite maddening.  If you draw a lovely,
elegantly streamlined swan on the screen and print it out, you would end up
with a stretched, ungainly and overweight water bird. :(

Would it be possible to fudge the printer drivers to produce output with the
same aspect ratio as the super hires screen?  Or have this as a radio button
in the page setup dialog?
