On an HP Laserjet 5 Si/Mx PS the PrintJob method
getPageResolution() returns 600, but since the
dimensions returned by getPageDimension() for an
8-1/2 x 11" page are 612 x 792, moving 600 units
to skip an inch jumps most of the way down the
page. Don't have this problem on any other
printer. Windows NT 4.0. JDK 1.1.6.

[repro code]
Frame frame = new Frame("test");
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Properties props = new Properties();
PrintJob pj = tk.getPrintJob(frame, "bug", props);
Dimension dim = pj.getPageDimension();
int res = pj.getPageResolution();
System.err.println("dim: " + dim);
System.err.println("res: " + res);

[output]
dim: 600
res: java.awt.Dimension[width=612,height=792]

This is not the reported Windows 95 bug, in
which the resolution is hardcoded, nor is it
the bug (reported as fixed) which was crashing
for Win32 print jobs.
