Use CUPS-PDF for Linux and doPDF for Windows as PDF file "printers"
Then go through all of the options to deal with the best quality.
I had issues myself once, but I looked into the Export to PDF and
CUPS-PDF options for the best resolution.
My CUPS-PDF can go to 2400 dpi.
For Export to PDF, I use lossless compression.
For those printers that use CUPS as part of its printer driver and
printer language, I look at EVERY option that is shown in my printing
options. There are a lot of interlinked options that seems to effect
each other.
How many different printers types/models have you printed to?
I currently have 4 printers, 2 inkjet, one laser and one color laser.
WHEN I print the same file, text, graphics, and photo included,
EACH printer gives me a different quality of image, even though
I have done me best to use the same printer resolution, paper, and
every other options to print it out as similar as possible.
I know it does not help you, but I have dealt with two exactly the same
model of printer and their output was enough different to convince
me and others that they were different models, not the same.
I took my profile and renamed it and started from scratch.
That helped when I was getting 75 or 150 dpi out of a 600+
dpi image.

Hi :)
I was hoping that changing those settings might nudge something into behaving properly.
If it's a Cups problem then the Cups forums might be more helpful
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php
but there are often a couple of people on this list that help people with this
sort of problem too so hopefully better answer will appear later.

Hi
Have you tried exporting to Pdf first? There is a ton of settings in
the dialogue-box so that you can set the compression
type and amount, the dpi of images and soem tick-boxes that might be
worth playing with.
As I wrote: the exported PDF prints in good quality.
My aim is *not* generate a PDF, but to use PDF as printer language, as
this is the default for CUPS now. I do not see how the export-settings
should interfere here-
