I don't have this problem on Windows NT 4.0 SP5, VC++ 6.0, vtk 3.12.
My guess is that somehow the program is not getting the
correct size of the printer page, and therefore the "Hello World"
is clipped. Try using another printer (maybe the one used
by the Windows 98 machine) or modifying the code (OnDraw method)
that calculates the size of the bitmap to be printed.

Good luck.
