I don't agree that it has a direct relationship.
I really depends on how the printer deals with it.
If the printer does 600 vs 1200 DPI by "skipping" dots, then lower
DPI would save toner.
ie (linear only, not showing the other axis)
600 DPI "skipped"

1200 DPI may use a bit more or a bit less toner depending on the way
the printer renders it, but in most cases I would not expect a
significant change unless the printer was sill using 1200DPI dots,
and skipping pixels.
Hi Harry,
So you're saying that some 1200 dpi printers always print
the same size dot, and just prints fewer of them when it prints at
lower dpi, thus lowering the amount of toner by the amount of
whitespace created?
