Quite simple really (and described in the NeXT-TeX manual, which is
called ntman.dvi and located in /usr/tex/ )

Just edit the D option in /usr/lib/tex/ps/config.ps from 400 to 300.
It sets the default resolution. 

You might encourage this user to look through that manual, there are
several other flags which can be set which could make his printing
and general use of TeX more convenient, depending on his desires.

Hope this is Helpful
