I've been using the following sample to export maps for printing:
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b9d4f443461d41849b99c3f144ef1e65

Additionally, I use the iTextSharp library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/) to overlay the exported image onto a PDF file.  With the exception of relatively poor output image quality, this seems to be working flawlessly.

The issue I am having is printing the page to a specific relative scale (i.e. 1in:100ft).  I am using dynamic map services and I have a zoom to scale tool on my page.  I can only get the map to export to the specified scale when my screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 and the application is maximized.  if i change my screen resolution and/or the size of the application window, the map scale is not honored.  I've read a lot about how everything is dependent on PPI (pixels per inch).  What I am looking for any hints on a generic method to generate a scaled map.

Thanks.

This sample showing how to print a map at specific scale might help.
