Hints:

The best way to get the most similiar printout on various printers is to use SET UNITS MM, remembering to use margins large enough for all printers.
When setting units to ROWCOL, you must consider that the font is not mapped exactly in the same way by different printer drivers.
Row height is measured using mapped printer DC font, so, its slightly different on different printers.
This is why the printout varies on different printers.
When setting units to MM, the printout position is calculated using printer resolution in pixels-per-inch, so this method is more exact than setting units to ROWCOL.
Remember that the preview shows only the printable area and not the whole paper area.

Case MM (note that point 0,0 is the upper left corner of the paper area):

SET UNITS MM
@ 5, 5 PICTURE "info.bmp" size 15, 10




Case ROWCOL (note that point 0,0 is the upper left corner of the printable area):

SET UNITS ROWCOL
DEFINE FONT "F0" NAME "Courier New" SIZE 40
@ 0, 0 PICTURE "info.bmp" size 2, 3
@ 3, 0 SAY "This is a text" FONT "F0" TO PRINT
