hm, they do print here, but acrobat sends it in a special way; it prints on 
the fierry rip (color printer) (actually, the only thing that the fierry 
screws up are normal lines); the level 2 b/w printer does not show them 
(yet).

there is always the "print as image" option which generally leads to better 
results anyway
