Just to add some more data points, I tested the attached MkXL file on
two printers, and the file printed perfectly on both.
Printer 1:
Brother HL-3170CDW
Printed via running "cat test.mkxl.pdf | nc Colour-Printer.local 9100"
Printer 2:
HP M227f LaserJet
Printed from the PDF file on a USB stick
Neither printer is anything fancy; they're both fairly inexpensive home
laser printers. I've got a much older Brother laser printer that I may be
able to test with next week.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
