First question: Windows or Mac? On Windows, you need to set the global 
property formatForPrinting to "true." On OS X, you don't have to worry 
about that.

Second question: what font is being used to display this tabular data 
in the stack? Can you just change it to Courier or some other 
monospaced font? Or does it *need* to be different between the screen 
and the printout?

The best/safest way I've encountered to print what you really want is 
to have a stack designed only to be printed, lay it out the way you 
want (including font settings), move data from the data stack to the 
printing stack as appropriate, and then print the printing stack. Have 
you tried that?
