I have Samsung ML-1210 exactly, foomatic-filters-3.0.2_4,
ghostscript-gnu-7.07_15.
Try to print alphabet.ps from ghostscript examples with 300 dpi. For
example:
'foomatic-rip --ppd <path to gdi ppd> -o Resolution=3D300x300dpi -o
PageSize=3DA4 /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/examples/alphabet.ps >
/dev/ulpt0'.
Is page printed well? For me isn't, only ugly stripes.
