Anyway, I got lousy quality printing because the defaults of the print driver were very low resolution. Each distribution has it's own printer configuration tool but the cups system has a universal tool which should be able to fix the low quality output of your linux printing. This is how I fixed the quality... Open a browser (mozilla?) on the linux system and open - This opens the CUPS configuration page and then select and select your printer. Click on the button The things you need to configure are likely to be the 'ghostscript resolution' 'quality' and 'media type' I wish this were easier and cups by default, will not let you edit these things from any computer other than localhost.
