Copying PictureBox to Printer

WITHOUT USING THE PRINTER OBJECT, which precludes using the PAINTPICTURE method, How can I print a Picturebox on the Printer.
Currently I am using the following APIS to produce text on the printer (successfully I might add)
StartDoc
EndDoc
StartPage
EndPage
TextOut

But I can't figure out how to put a Picture image on the printer. BITBLT doesn't like my attempts for some reason. Here is my BitBlt. picHdc is the printer and pmask is a Picturebox.
Pmask is correct because when I use the printer Objects .PaintPicture, I get a picture on the printer but it's on a seperate page from one that I am building.

BitBlt pichdc, 0, 0, pMask.Width, pMask.Height, pMask.hdc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY

What stupid thing am I doing wrong????????

To answer my own question, Here is a working sample of how to "Print" a Picturebox and text without using the Printer object.
1) Add a Command button and a PictureBox to a form.
2) Add a picture to the PictureBox. Make it a picture so it shows about 1" by 1" on the screen.
3) Set AutoRedraw and AutoSize to true in the PictureBox
4) Paste the attached code into the Form.
5) Run the program and click the button.

Viola. No more Printer object bugs/ restrictions to contend with. This program uses APis STARTDOC, STARTPAGE etc to manage the printer.
