Hi,
I'm trying to solve a problem printing text from Linux.

Using the simple example from the book:
Dim g as Graphics
g=OpenPrinter
g.DrawString "Hello World", 100, 100

my 1200 dpi HP laserjet prints the text at 72dpi, antialiased and ugly.

Jason (at RS) suggested it might be a printer driver problem.

Would anyone be willing to test my compiled binary with another printer(s)
(a laser and an inkjet would be nice). I have posted the project file and the 
binary at:

http://www.flippingdades.com/rbstuff/

the file is called "TextRes.zip"

other info:
1)  If I write Postcript "by hand" and send it to the printer via a shell 
command, it prints at 1200 dpi.
2)  All other programs on this computer can print text at high resolution.
3)  If I set ps.MaxHorizontal Resolution and then check 
ps.HorizontalResolution, it shows 72 dpi

MepisLinux
Pentium - IV 2.4 GHz
RB2006r2
KDE desktop

Thank you,
DJ
