[mapserver-users] High resolution printing

Depending on the purpose, you could check if Mapyrus is useful for you. 
Disadvantage is that you need to define the map layout a second time and 
make it look similar to Mapserver layout. But the PDF output quality is 
far better than the one of Mapserver, and you do not need to bother with 
PDFLib licenses. And it's also working well for large print formats 
(vector based rendering of vector data).
