I just set up Delphi 5  and tried the most basic of functions - printing
a form. The form was very simple - a single panel aligned to top with
the caption changed for testing.

A print button was added with the OnClick modified:

begin
   Form1.print;
end;

The form prints but the print output is of low quality with lettters
which are not sharp and crisp as expected. I tried the printing to
several printers including
1    HP Laserjet III
2    HP 4000
3    HP Deskjet 870Cse

OS = Win98
RAM = 128
Processor = Pentium II

Inprise, when called, informs me that this is not an installation issue
but I could purchase assistance through the Developer Assist program for
$290.00 per incident. The operations guide has no additional information
on printing problems. I cannot afford $290.00 to answer such a basic
question concerning what can be done to help Delphi print high quality
forms. I expect this to be operational out-of-the box.

Can anyone provide a little advice for a thank you in advance and a
great deal of gratitude?

Sincerely,

A Delphi Neophyte

Check out this tip on the Borland web site.  You should be able to
pretty much copy the code and use it as-is:
