If you mean like having to adjust KSpread to be able to use more than 72dpi, 
than this is purely on my todo list (and indeed, this is KSpread specific, an 
app must be able to use higher resolution and then "zoom" the content down).

Why not using the printer resolution if it's higher than 600dpi and otherwise 
have it default to 600dpi (or 300dpi, if you like).
This way, we would be able to use high resolutions for printer/services that 
supports it and don't bloat the print job with hight resolution always.

Okay, I don't know if the "broken" resolution information from Q/KPrinter is 
then always below 300.

At least we should give the user the oppertunity to use the high resolution (I 
checked the KPrinter docu, there is no dedicated high resolution mode -  only 
the normal kprinter resolution).
