Sounds like the resolution is set too low. Is the output still poor when using 'print' or 'prepress' when exporting to PDF in OO? Prepress should give the best output (2400dpi). If still poor, I think most postscript processing in Linux usually involves ghostscript, usually driven from a script like ps2pdf. May want to start looking at settings there.
