Allright, so it does not depend on the KDE version... The QT version on both my KDE machines is identical, so QT isn't part of the problem either.. 

On my KDE 3.5.2 box, rendering a print preview takes about 15 minutes, and it looks really good. On the KDE 3.4.3 box, rendering the preview takes just a few seconds with printed pixel sizes of about 1 millimeter indeed.

Apart from the different KDE versions, the only relevant difference between both machines is the printer driver. The KDE 3.5 machine has an old HP Deskjet printer and uses a Foomatic driver, while the KDE 3.4 box has a brand new Epson Stylus inkjet printer and uses a Gimp-Print driver. 

Is it technically possible that the resolution of the generated postscript depends on the type of printer driver, or even printer driver settings? How is the output resolution of the printwizard plugin determined?
