Printing with revPrintField

Greetings once again,
I am trying to print a field with text formatted into columns. The columns
are set by setting the tabStops. It looks great on screen, and "print card"
prints it just fine. However, when I use:
revShowPrintDialog true,true
revPrintField the name of field "tText"
It prints, but the columns are no longer formatted properly. Am I doing
something wrong?
Here's what I think is going on... If you set the tabStops to
"72,162,267,348,477" for example, then the first parameter is 72, one inch
on screen. However, I think that Revolution is not considering the dpi of
the printer. So, if you print to a 300 dpi printer, 72 is no linger an
inch. Am I right? Is this a bug? Or do I suffer from cranial-rectal
inversion?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
