Have you tried to use these tools for print preview of RichView?

First one includes TPrinter replacement printing in metafile. You can try to

print RichView on this printer.

As for second, you can try to use TRVPrint.rv.DrawPage(pgNo, THEIR_CANVAS,

False, False); (after RVPrint formatting)

To be honest, I doubt that results will be much better than in

TRVPrintPreview (at least with the first tool)
