AW: AW: bad print quality of a resized image

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Great Jan, I tested your approach already with one image and the printing
result is really top, almost better as in 100% size. Obviously the printer
driver has much better algorithm for squeezing datas.
Now I only have to fiddle a little bit with a card and a couple of images,
but that's just fiddling.
Thank you very much!
