Re: Consistent print results on different printers

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming that the printing is being done from Acrobat 3.0x and the "other"
printers are NOT PostScript printers, you should apply the 3.01RA or 3.02
update to Exchange or Reader (fixes some printing problems with non-PostScript
printers). Alternatively, you could attempt to print from Acrobat 4 or 
Acrobat 4 Reader.

If the problem is occurring to NON-PostScript printers and you are already
using Acrobat 4 or Acrobat 4 reader, the problem may very likely be outdated
or defective printer drivers. See if the printer manufacturer has posted 
updates. (NOTE: Acrobat really effectively tests the kashrut of any print
driver in terms of really obeying the GDI or QuickDraw specs!) Failing that,
you can use the "print as image" as a last resort.

If the problem is occurring on "PostScript" printers that do not use Adobe
PostScript, there is a strong possibility that the printer isn't quite 
up-to-snuff in terms of its implementation of PostScript emulation. Check
to see if the manufacturer has ROM updates with fixes (we have heard of these
problems with both GCC and Lexmark printers with emulations of PostScript
Level 2). Again, only as a last resort, you could try "print as image" from
Acrobat 4.

The above should cover 99.9% of the cases other than gross host computer
misconfiguration.
