Hi, I printed metafun-p.pdf using Preview.app on an HP Laserjet 4100 dtn (black and white) and noticed that beginning from page 37 (physical page number 41) of that document the output is fuzzy. Also I noticed that it takes a much longer time to print the pages 37 onward (for instance the 14 pages from 37--50 took three times more time than the 36 pages 1--36). Printing the same document with Acrobat 6, or TeXShop presents no such problems. Best regards: OK
Hi all,
We need your help in tracking down a possible bug with the Apple Preview.app when printing the Metafun manual (pdf)
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf
from page 37 onward.
We (and Apple) would appreciate it very much if some of you would do tests on different printers and submit a report on the survey form posted at
http://latex.yauh.de/survey/survey.php?SURVEY_ID=14
Josh Carter made the original discovery and did tests on the following: ----------- HP Color LaserJet 4600dn - Printing page 1-100ish (my original print job), A4 paper scaled to letter: fuzzy pages from page 37 (physical 41) on. - Page 37 only (scaled): fuzzy. - Page 37 only (A4 cropped to letter): fuzzy.
HP LaserJet 4050n: - Page 37 only (scaled): fuzzy. - Page 37 only (cropped): fuzzy.
Epson Stylus Photo 2000P (note: NOT a PostScript printer): - Page 37 only (cropped): fuzzy.
All were printed from my PowerBook G4/550; 512MB/30GB; MacOS X 10.3.2; latest available drivers for Color LaserJet 4600 and Epson 2000P, built-in system driver for LaserJet 4050. I also verified that Acrobat 6 prints correctly on the 4050, but I didn't try the other printers. -----------
Our thanks to Stephan Hochhaus for setting up the MacTeX survey page. -- wendy for the TUG MacTeX Technical Working Group http://www.tug.org/twg/mactex/
