I found that the printout of a pdf tends to be lighter than that of a ps file even though using the same configuration of the printer. Sometimes the text even looks a little bit smaller. Why is that?

After removing the option of fit to page, it is the same size as one from ps. But the output is still not as dark as in ps. 

The printing result from ps is not so printer-dependent. But for pdf file, I got the poor quality from one laser printer and the same quality as ps from another laser printer. (both using 600dpi and standard graphics) I hope someone can explain this to me.
