Subject: Help Wanted: Apple Preview.app and Metafun Manual
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 11:06:37 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0403010858500.21155-100000@shannon.cds.caltech.edu> (raw)

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.
