I have the following piece of code that I sent to our LaserWriter Plus:
%!
0 setlinecap
.24 setlinewidth
newpath 72 72 moveto 360 0 rlineto stroke
showpage
From this I would expect to get a 5 inch long horizontal line. However, it
is actually about 1/32 inch too long. Is it too much to expect better than
1/32 inch (~10 pixels or ~0.5%) accuracy, or is this known to be what happens
in a LaserWriter Plus and perhaps other printers as well?
