I have found out what is happening here: The pdftops filter is not able
to find out what the printing resolution for this job is, due to no
"Resolution" option in the PPD and also no PostScript commands for
setting the device resolution in any other options in the PPD. This
leads to the wrong assumtion of a 100-dpi resolution. I have done an
upstream change now to make the fallback in such a situation being 300
dpi, as it was originally intended.

This will soon be made available as an update, after checking whether
there are perhaps other bugs to fix in the cups-filters package.
