Is it really that simple? I must be missing something because g.Drawline ..... draws a line that is defined by g.penWidth and g.penHeight. Since the smallest setting is 1 (pixel), the line drawn is not a hairline. The printer is set at 600 dpi.

Just in case my question was missed by the wizards, here it is again, re-phrased. Since hairlines are common to all graphics programs, I assume hairlines can be printed with RB. Will someone please point me to an example or a plugin.

A hairline is nothing special; just use g.DrawLine to draw a thin line on a high-resolution device. This assumes you've already set your printer context up for high resolution, of course.

Incidentally, there will be a session on printing (and other graphics topics) at REAL World again this year, in case you missed it last year.
