Therefore, I want to print specific size graphics at specific pixel locations on a printed page, using a program. The marks must be precisely in the right place so that the scanner can read them.

Are you using a mono space font when usinf @ row,col syntax? It should be acurate enough for a scanner.

Otherwise you can hack the report file at runtime. The positions in the report file are specified in pixels.
