Which printer driver are you using in win95? I seem to remeber that the genric
laser printer driver only did 300 dpi. (Although 300dpi is not as bad asyou
described it). Whenever I wanted a decent output I used an HP laserJet driver
which had support for 600dpi - so the postscript it generated was 600dpi.
