Hi DJ.
Sorry for the delay in answering and thanks for your reply. I tried to
study things a bit further. I'm using LPRng and things are not too clear,
I'm afraid. Anyway, analysing logs, I found that the default value sent
to gs was -r300, which does explain the reduced precision and resolution.
All intents to change resolution with lprngtool failed for some reason.
The append_z option was generated in the printcap, but ignored.
I generated a new ppd with foomatic-configure for 600, A4-format, which,
after some tweaking, worked... I'd like to have a form to have this in
the printcap though, so I can have several paper formats/resolutions.
