Rasterizing usually makes stuff look quite bad (because the wrong resolution is chosen) , have you tried printing text or things with sharp lines?

The code for it was already there, but it was hidden behind an #ifdef Q_OS_WIN. This patch enables it for all plattforms.  If nothing else, it will make an interesting debugging tool, because it allows to bypass the postscript & cups toolchain from the GUI. This may allow to track down some of the numerous my-printer-settings-are-getting-ignored bugs.
