In the print() method look at the graphics transform and scale down accordingly.

Eg if the printer is 360 dpi, then the transform will report a scale of (5,5) so you need
to apply a user scale of 1/5, 1/5.

Then a 1 pixel user space line will be 1 device pixel.

FYI printers that say they are 2400 dpi are not necessarily truely that fine so it may not
be that a line is 1/2400 but that's a matter for the printer vendor.

Since I have not received an answer to my previous question, I will try to 
simplify it even further.

For an arbitrary printer, how can I print a single line that is one printer "dot" wide by N dots long, ie, print the finest line the printer is capable of printing?
For a 300dpi printer this line would be a line 1/300" wide. For a 2400dpi printer 
this would be a line 1/2400" wide, etc.

Thanks!
