printing...
Has anybody noticed that if you try to print the sample border.pdf file that
it comes out all screwed up unless you specify "print as image" ?
The text is there, but lines all wind up off the page...

It has to do with specific PDFs insofar, as there are certain elements
in a PDF file that create this problem. Anything that creates a line
(like fo:display-rule or svg:rect) will cause the printing problem with
the PostScript printer driver (either MS or Adobe, doesn't matter).

No it is not - I wasn't saying it was. The initial complaint indicated that a
specific PDF produced from a specific FO didn't print properly; I was
pointing out that at least in one case it does. I've run into my fair share
of PDF printing problems and 99.99% of the time it has nothing to do with
the PDF, so I'm averse to statements that say "my PDF won't print". It's
almost always a printer driver issue.

Yes, but the HP OfficeJet is not a PostScript printer, is it?

I'm looking at my "border.pdf" printout and it's OK, from a HP 725
OfficeJet. "Print As Image" was definitely not checked.

Are you using a PostScript printer driver? If yes: try a PCL or whatever
driver.
