How do you know it's not 600dpi?  I'd be very very surprised that if
this is happening, it isn't a bug in the HP printer.  PostScript
programs cannot specify their resolution -- it's up to the interpreter
to do that!  The images may look low-res because they are--they're
being scaled up from their original size.

Not for the LJ4M, and not for the PS version, at least not from SGI.
There shouldn't need to be one, though!
