Side issue: I've been trying to print said documents with little luck. Sun SPARC10 or HP-PA, various HP laser printers. Can't get the print to come out looking even close to what I see online, and in fact it comes out with seemingly random line spacing, borders, pagination.

Yes, I've wandered through the printer setup stuff. Tried 10 or 12 combinations of options, nothing works.

Perhaps someone has a clue where I should be looking?
