Dear Jan,

Nothing comes out of the printer.

I use http://www.dailynews.co.th as a test.

If I print to file I get... a 2.9 Mb file which looks ok, except that
the first page has just the navigational tabs from the webpage and pages
two and three hold the rest of the body.

I attach the first hundred lines of the postscript output.

Thanks for taking an interest in my problem.
