Ok, I see what is happening, I think.  While the PostScript file does
not have a resolution, the co-ordinates are being rounded to the known
resolution of the driver - probably because it produces a smaller
PostScript file.

The generic driver is designed to be the lowest specification,
simplest, target printer, so it works on all devices. You should never
use it for a real printer.  I will repeat this simply for anyone
skimming this discussion: NEVER USE THE GENERIC DRIVER for any real
work.

The right driver to use is the one for your actual output device. That
will probably change the precision of co-ordinates (still integers,
bigger co-ordinate system), and give you full control over your
device.
