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 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
