gEDA-user: Trace width/quality



Hello people.

I'm using PCB for small projects, and recently acquired a laser printer,
half justifying it to print PCB boards.

When I print the postscript file out of PCB with Ghostview, traces are
too wide and there seems to be a problem with rounding. Importing the file
into Gimp at 600dpi, then printing gives nice results but is quite slow.

I'm using the hpijs driver, gs and the ppd file for my printer.

Could someone indicate where I could tweak things to improve the result?

I've attached two small images to illustrate the results - I hope this is
permitted on the list...

TIA,
John
