Posts: 832              I'm experimenting with printersetup.
For a long time, I've lived with the old method of getting a 72 dpi page back , 
creating a graphic that is bigger, then drawing the big graphic onto the 72dpi 
page, to simulate higher resolution.
(On the basis of 'if it works...')

Now Im trying out letting the printer tell me what it has to play with.
I know I can use MaxHorizontalResolution = -1  to say 'hit me with your best 
shot'

But frankly, that might be WAY too much resolution for me.

So I'm trying out imposing a limit.

MaxHorizontalResolution = 360

Now, that works on inkjets. I get 360 dpi.
If I change the value to a non-inkjet resolution  like  300, I get back 120dpi.
(odd.. was expecting 180 dpi, but hey ho...)


Here's the question:

If I use 
MaxHorizontalResolution = 360
MaxVerticalResolution = 300
then I get 120dpi for both.

WILL IT ALWAYS BE THE SAME?
because I can't see how I can deal with a situation where I try to set a font 
size and these dpi values are different.

Any advice?
