Output placement in C using tabs problem

How can I make sure not to happen like this? Is there any way to show exact place by numbers?

Name            UID     GID     Dir     Host
root    0       0       /root
paingpyi        500     500     /home/paingpyi  192.168.12.1
paingpyi        500     500     /home/paingpyi  192.168.12.1

Code is

printf("Name \t\tUID \tGID \tDir \tHost\n");
printf("%s \t\t%d \t%d \t%s \t%s \n",up->ut_user,pw->pw_uid,pw->pw_gid,pw->pw_dir,up->ut_host);

The printf width specifiers are more appropriate for this kind of tasks than \t. You should have a look into the 'field width' section of the manual.
