Nominating for N6.5 and setting milestone to 0.9.  This is a basic printing 
problem that occurs on all pages with images so very frequent.

Not my issue, the printer is printing at screen resolution.  There is no API for 
printing to get a higher resolution image to print.

This also is a feature... issue with UPS and printing bar codes.  UPS needs to 
have high resolution options to print there bar codes.
Who should be the appropriate owner for this issue.  It's a problem printing any 
of the top 100 Web sites.

Don, will you be owning this bug untill Pam gets back?
dcone, do you need an API from image lib to get a higher res image or does the
printing side need the API? Sorry, I'm not familiar with this code and I'm just
trying to figure out which one of use should own this.
There needs to be a way to load higher resolution images.  Printing would also 
need a way to communicate it.

Gagan mentioned that the redesigned image lib will take care of this problem.

Xprint support needs this, too. Should I file a seperate bug for this ?
No.. this is an image library problem.. the resolution of the image printed.. 
fix for one platform is a fix for all.
What happened to printing from the natural image size?
