Look at methods/properties of Printer object...
Line....
(x1, y1) Optional. Single values indicating the coordinates of the
starting point for the line or rectangle. The ScaleMode property
determines the unit of measure used. If omitted, the line begins at the
position indicated by CurrentX and CurrentY.
The ScaleMode property syntax has these parts:
Part Description
object An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies
To list.
value An integer specifying the unit of measurement, as described in
Settings.

The settings for value are:
