print document problem here

[Guest]

hey, I want to print items in different places on the same piece of paper.

maybe one item at the upper left, one item in the bottom right.

or maybe a grid of 6 items, all spaced evenly in 2 rows of 3.

where do I start researching how to do this? will I have to specify pixel
by pixel or something?

any advice on where to go about doing this would be great. I'm new to
printing and print previews. thanks

You draw using a Graphics object, just as you would to draw to the
screen. It's a special Graphics object you get from the printing
system, but otherwise it works pretty much the same.

Here's a good starting point:
