Where to drawlines on Printer.Handle or Printer.Canvas.Handle

Hello
        I have to print few randow lines .

Should I use

movetoEx(printer.handle,x1,y1,nil);
lineto(printer.handle,x2,y2);

OR

movetoEx(Printer.Canvas.Handle,x1,y1,nil);
lineto(Printer.Canvas.Handle,x2,y2);

Which of the two is more reliable regarding efficiency

Thanks in advance

Have you tried Printer.Canvas.MoveTo and Printer.Canvas.LineTo?
