Re: [NTG-context] Help Wanted: Apple Preview.app and Metafun Manual

[Otared Kavian]

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)
	

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
	

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.
