Yup, that's the right way to do it.  You don't have to know it's an 
ImageWriter at all, just examine the available combinations of horizontal 
and vertical resolution and pick one where they're equal.  Your code will 
then work on all printer drivers that support PrGeneral, which includes 
all current Apple printer drivers.
