Read the part of the handbook that discusses fixing the stair-step effect.
Another option (recommended!) would be to use a better input filter for
printing.  I recommend using 'apsfilter'.  It's in the ports collection
(hopefully you installed the ports).  You can find it in the ports like this:

cd /usr/ports && make search key=apsfilter

Apsfilter can handle many file types (postscript, etc.) and print them out
properly.
