Benjamin Drung, your problem is that the HP LaserJet 13xx is badly
equipped with memory. Therefore it often has problems to print complex
documents in PostScript mode (for simple text the PostScript mode is
very fast though). Please use the pxlmono or hpijs driver for this
printer.

The lines (scan.png from comment 1) are now gone.
But 100% correct is it not. Printing in landscape format produces lines which
are too small on the right side of the character (e.g. in the characters 1, l,
M). But maybe this problem is not connected with this bug.

it looks like the characters get shifted 1 or 2 pixels in some direction
(depending on Portrait or Landscape), and the part of the character that
gets shifted out one side appears on the other side. so i'm betting that
the lines that are too small for 1, l, M are still related to this bug.
