Printing a String Grid D4

What I am trying to do is to exactly replicate what I see in a String Grid on paper, including the spacing as used in the grid eg. the column widths/heights are all exact. Basically the grid will consist of a few tiny squares (Found in the Fixedsys font). I need to position the squares in the cells which I have done but the hard part is being able to get it to print how it looked on the form/grid. Another thing is, should I be using the Draw Grid instead of a String Grid as all I need on the grid are tiny squares to put in a few cells. Are there any Free String\Draw grids available that enables you to print the grid using the correct column spacing etc.

Suggestion: Use Q(uick)report (Delphi standard). There, what you see is what you print and the user gets a standard windows print dialog.

Once I also wanted to print a dbgrid, I did found a dbgrid component with good print-functionality on Torry's pages if I remember correctly.
