I'll try to loosen my lip and expound on the issue.

I'd like to have my print output at a high resolution without the jagged
edges, with very sharp, crisp, clean lines.

I see jagged edges when I print from Acroread, a .pdf file, or when I print
documents from OOWRITER. 

I use mutt and often print email messages, by hitting P with the desired
message open. I also use enscript to print text files, created using vim.

My laserjet iii p prints beautifully, when jobs are sent to it from
connected windows applications. It prints these jobs without any jagged or
frayed edges. All graphics print clearly, cleanly.

This is where I need help. I want to figure out how to change to different
PPD's for this printer. I believe the problem lies in having currently
installed a PPD which doesn't exploit the full potential of my printer.
