I fyou are using TeXview, do the following: In the print menu set the CUSTOM RESOLUTION to 300 dpi and also push the custom resolution button. You may want to dwrite this to texview; If you are using dvips "by hand" modify the config.ps file (either in our home or in /usr/lib/tex/ps ) as follows: * * With a virtual machine, we can claim 1M of memory. * m 1000000 * * And send output by default to a PostScript file. * o !lpr -PLaserJetIIP * * Default resolution. * D 300 * Switch off page reversal r 0 * Last resort sizes. * R 100 120 144 300 360 400 432 480 (you can also make a config.LaserJetIIP -- or whatever you call your laserjet -- file; it is described in the Manual).
