Strange things when printing my VI

I included a VI. When I just print the front panel I just don't get the same view on paper as on the screen.
Lines having a biger width,buttons are not printed verry well, The x-position of the Start and Stop Markers is printed outside its field, etc...
Can anyone explain me this? How to solve it?

I just printed your front panel on a HP Color Laserjet 4500 and got an accurate printout. My Deskjet 932 ink jet do okay except for the colors. So much is dependent on the printer and it's driver. If it's a low res ink jet and you've got a high res screen, then compromises have to made in translating that high resolution image to a low resolution output. There are printer options (standard, postscript, bitmap) that you can experiment with and I'm sure your printer has settings that can be adjusted as well. You could also look for an updated printer dirver or try a different printer.

Thanks Dennis,

But when I save the frontpanel as an JPEG or Bitmap and than printing it with the same printer I get the same result as on the screen. When just printing the frontpanel I don't. Why is that?
