[cups] ZPL printer driver adjustment

[Frank Kirschner]

Hello Helge,
the printer we're using has 203 dpi. Okay my question is obsolete.
So I do understand what's happen if CUPS is rendering a document with a larger dpi to the printer.

Thanks at all for the useful hints.

Best regards
Frank

There are three i-class printer models from datamax each of which has a dedicated resolution (203, 300, or 600 dpi) which cannot be changed.
