I guess it's a disadvantage compared to other applications that QuarkXPress 4.x has to have a PostScript printer in order to print high res. But the good thing is that with QuarkXPress 6 this problem is solved and one can just print high res even with a non-PostScript printer. Thanks for the additional info, I sure appreciate it.

One point I want to add is when you say that QuarkXPress is not capable of printing pictures in Hi-Res to desktop printers... The fact is that it can, but you need to print to a Postscript compatible printer, or through a Postscript interpretor (aka RIP) to any non Postscript device. How to figure out if your printer will handle Postscript well? Just look in your print dialog box in QuarkXPress, under the setup tab, and see if the printer Description drop down menu is available, if so, then your printer uses Postscript Printer Description files (PPDs) and is Postscript compatible. Cheers! Elisabetta, this tutorial to generate PDFs out of Quark is good.
