If the PPD file has an option named "Resolution", the correct resolution 
will be used by Qt/KDE Print, the Foomatic PPDs without "Resolution" 
option have usually a "*DefaultResolution" entry which makes Qt/KDE 
Print at least a resolution compatible with the printer, normally the 
highest resolution.
