I will precise the question:
According to the tests I made with the Adobe Generic Postscript Driver, The resolution is set to an astonisching low resolution (300 dpi). Although PS is vectorial, coordinates for lines and character placement are embedded in the file.
Example: "N 790 2900 M 790 2912 I K "
The coupe of numbers are coordinates for a small line of 1 mm long. If I convert: 12 units for 1 mm and 25 mm per Inch -> 12 * 25 = 300 dpi. This max resolution is too low for my requirements.
Anybody know where to change the resolution of this driver? No option is available in the printer settings.
OS: WinNT
Driver: Adobe Generic Postscript Driver
Printing to PS file from C++/MFC Application.

Thanks
Bertil
