One can get a double-size printed image even if the default resolution matches the capability of the printer. Suggest adding something like the following to README.printing-problems (and maybe also to the debconf template): --- debian/README.printing-problems-orig 2005-12-09 12:28:20.000000000 -0500 +++ debian/README.printing-problems 2005-12-09 12:36:57.000000000 -0500 @@ -137,6 +137,14 @@ happily render 300dpi images, using a 2x2 block for each pixel in the image to give a normal physical image size on paper. +If you have a 600dpi printer that prints too big an image even when +the default resolution is set to 600dpi, CUPS may be configuring your +printer to use "normal" resolution (300dpi).
