as i noted in my previous message, the printer driver works at a given
maximum resolution that is not the dpi resolution of the printer but a
submultiple. in the case of the Epson printer drivers, it is fixed at 360
dpi. anymore more is wasted. the Canon and HP ones probably are 300 dpi, but
that is a guess. the Epson information is in the developer's documents for
the binary data stream sent to the printer.
