Postscript

I would like to print an A4 page of line graphics at 4800dpi. This means the page is about 39840 by 56160 pixels large. The pattern is Moire related and sets half the number of pixels to black. As postscript needs to build a page in memory before the showpage ejects it, I expect  memory problems and experience has learnt that the page gets ejected at the moment of memory overflow, thus printing a partial page.

Is there some way to set the printer into "line buffering" so I can write the page line-by-line instead of page-by-page, so I won't run into memory problems?

I am not sure what you mean. I have been searching the internet all day for leads, but I have found nothing that directs me towards printing ultra-high resolution graphics directly. I slowly getting the impression that 4800 dpi printers are nice for smooth typefacing, and small graphics, but not to print a 40000x56160 image.
