The print quality depends also on the "Printout Mode" of the Printer .
But This is not considered in the Print-preview mode ( in GIMP or OO ) ; So user may not be able to access the quality of the print to a 100% .

This can be solved
1 . Query the default printer for the "Printout Mode"
2 . Adjusting the Colour , contrast and resolution of the Print-preview mode relative to the "Printout Mode"
3 . If the exact properties of the printer is not known , print a test page , scan it , and calculate the quality of the printer from the text page .
