- labels: --> Printing
Currently, the printer resolution is hard-coded to
150dpi for simplicity and to keep memory usage down.
150dpi, however, is not very nice looking when it comes
out on paper.
The solution would be to either to detect the printer's
resolution (I'm not sure this is possible with AWT) or
have the user select the resolution they want on the
last page of the Print Wizard. Options could be
something like:
Good (150 dpi)
Better (300 dpi)
Best (600 dpi)
Although I am told that most new inkjets today support
up to 1440 dpi, the current print system would almost
certainly not be able to handle that as all pages are
stored in memory before the actual printing begins.
