I discovered that if I run in Windowed mode with D3D enabled, and switch my desktop resolution to 1024x768 before I start the game, everything is fine and reports print as they should.

It seems that running in full-screen mode is the greatest cause of the error. So, I can work around the printing problem but we shouldn't have to take extra steps to accomplish such a simple task as printing.

Of course, if I'd just bite the bullet and get myself a 17" monitor, I could run in 1024 at all times and not worry about this!

Thanks for the reply, Killebrew. I appreciate the help. If anyone else has light to shed, please do.
