Hi,

maybe I found something that could lead to this strange multiply by 3 
behaivior.

Somewhere in the errorlog I found "setting resolution to [ 100 100 ]" 
but it is a 300dpi device and I've configure it with the webfrontend to 
this value.

If the image gets raster with a 100x100 dpi and is then printed with 
300x300dpi it will be 1/3 of the length and width...

just my other 2c on this problem.... No, I don't have an idea where this 
100dpi default could come from.

Regards Thomas
