How is the app structured? Ideally your Paint routine and your Print routine
should both be calling the same method to draw the picture and text, but
with a different resolution passed to the routine depending on which task is
being done.

So you'd have a method, call it Draw, that takes an integer parameter
(Resolution), and a parameter for the graphics port to draw to (g). Then the
drawing is done into the graphics object based on that resolution.
