PC versus Mac graphic printing quality problem

I hope this is in the right topic. I have a graphic in a layout that doesn't print the same from PC's (running Windows XP Home) as it does from Mac's (running OSX). The Mac printout is much smoother than the PC one, as if it's changed the resolution. However botht he Mac and PC use the same layout in the same database and the printer dot pitch is the same as far as i can tell. The PC is using an HP LaserJet 4M Plus printer and I tried installing a PostScript driver for it but it didn't help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. There also seems to be an issue with a PC viewing graphics in a database done on a Mac.

Sorted it, kinda. I went to Edit - Preferences... - Font smoothing style (Smooth, light) and it looks a lot better. It's not as good as the Mac but it will do.
