    From MSDN:

    twip
    A screen-independent, absolute unit of measurement (such as an inch or a centimeter). A twip is a unit of length equal to 1/20 of a printer's point, and a printer's point is 1/72 of an inch. There are approximately 1440 twips to a logical inch or 567 twips to a logical centimeter (the length of a screen item measuring one inch or one centimeter when printed).

    See the ScaleMode property in the help for more info about how you can change this default setting.

    You can also change the basic mesaurment unit by setting the .ScaleMode property

    Printer.ScaleMode=vbCentimeter

    makes the printer use centimeters instead of twips.
