Printing 256 color bitmaps - Stuck for a week

I've been trying for a week now to print 256 COlor
Bitmaps. I have a CBitmap that is 16 bit aligned and I need to print it.

I've tried just bitblt'ing it. I've tried converting to a DIB then printing, everything.

I'm stuck. Can someone walk through the wholoe process of printing a CBitmap? I've tried using some BitmaptoDIB examples here as well as from Petzel and Microsoft. So far, noone hoes through the process of printing a 256 color bitmap. I can print 24 bit or 1 bit images just fine. But I can't print an 8 bit image.

Help is much appreciated!!!
