PageAttributes is for 1.1/AWT API printing (ie PrintJob).
Also its notion of resolution is more like a user space to device space
scaling transform and as you point out it doesn't provide any way to query
the possible resolutions of the printer device.
Merlin (1.4) will have an API for this that can be used with PrinterJob.
We will both report the available resolutions, and let you choose which
one you want. Unfortunately that is then, and this is now ..
