It's all interconnected. The default printing scale is 72 unit per inch. If 
your paper is 8" high, you get 8x72 (576) vertical coordinates ("pixels", in 
case your dot matrix printer has 72 dpi). 

If you scale down the drawing, you get more pixels per inch, and more pixels in 
total on the same size paper.

Pixels here don't mean much of course, because PostScript is mostly vector 
oriented... .

Is that what you meant?
