Problems with printing to a real postscript printer

[Olivia Jensen <olivia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The PSgs filter driver produces printer outputs that are 
scaled by 1/4 on my 300x300 DPI postscript
printer.  That is a full page is printed
in the lower left corner of a page at 1/4 size.
The apsfilter SETUP testpage and all postscipt
files print out in this scaled mode.

For the moment, the only way I've found
to format a print page properly is
to throw away resolution and configure
the apsfilterrc for a 75x75 DPI and
as one might expect that results in
rather ragged fonts.  

I've tried many ways of avoiding the
problem but none of them work...
so for the moment, I don't use the 
apsfilter printer drivers for 
printing wordprocessed documents.  

I suspect that the apsfilter (or perhaps
the ghostscript filters) are now
limited to 1200x1200 DPI postscript
printers.  The ghostscript interface
has become such an unstable house of
cards that I don't want to try to
rebuild it myself though I suppose I
could hack the psmono ghostscript driver if I could 
find it.   I know that this is not 
the apsfilter problem but it is a
problem that the ghostscript filters
are so trusted.  

The generic postscript driver, of course,
doesn't work with AbiWord or KWord
anymore because font embedding has
been suppressed in the recent versions.
