What I'm saying is just a guess, but if DumpRPort works the way that I think it
does (which explains the lousy lines), there should be some way of setting up
the aspect ratio on your dump which will work out exactly for your printer and
not leaving those half-a**'d lines.
They probably work out their printer pixel sizing with simple modula math (or
is that modulo — oh well). Therefore, there SHOULD (I say should because I
haven't found it yet — then again, I haven't tried all that hard) be some
size/combination that will work out exactly providing an exact pixel/pixel (or
2 pixels or whatever) ratio, and working out so that all pixel/printer-pixel
combinations are identical.
Of course, it would probably be easier to find a needle in the Indian Ocean
than to figure it out by trial and error, but there's probably some neat way of
figuring out exactly what the combination is and requiring only a ream or two
of paper and a weekend to figure out.
In other words (subtlety doesn't always help), if anyone from C-A who happens
to know about how the DumpRPort function was written (or can find out), please
let us in.
Any help is appreciated.
