I've checked in the code, and it's correctly parsing them into floats,
but then converts to an integer value. So I think this is what's the
likely cause of the problem. This might be a limitation in the
libgutenprint PostScript family driver
(/usr/lib/gutenprint/5.0.0-rc3/modules/print-ps.so).

In this case, I think Gutenprint may be at fault. I'll have to follow
this up with upstream.
