Description
Many PPDs for Linux CUPS printers list a supported set of device resolutions.
JDK however always reports PrinterResolution is not a supported attribute because
it does not query the PPD for this option.
Also as a consequence there is no provision in the postscript code we generate
to set the output device resolution. Its hardcoded to 300x300dpi which means
its lower than is common on many current devices.
