I've run a PostScript "ruler" program on both our Apple LW+s
and find the x-axis is stretched a little and the y-axis is
compressed a little.  But on a real PostScript typesetter
(a Linotronic L300) the measurements are perfect.

What causes the LW+ to do this ?  Is there some form of
adjustment that can be made ?  Are other brands of PostScript
laser printers "better" at this than the LW+ ?
