This sounds familiar. Until a few months ago I also had this
(navigation elements printed first, then the content on following
pages). But see below.

Can you print the .ps file using gv?

I also get this, but some font names are different.

What is "an inordinately long time"? I my case processing the URL
you supplied takes about 4 seconds. The print come out OK (don't
know Thai, but the print looks the same as the display).

I had many problems with xprint in the past. I found some
solutions, which I put on my "UTF-8 on Linux" page
(www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu). But since very recently (two weeks?
one week?) these problems have disappeared, i.e., the remedies
which I suggested on my page no longer seem necessary (although
userContent.css is still nice for customising the print-out). I am
using "Debian unstable" which is updated quite frequently. I have
done some experiments but haven't found yet which update (Mozilla?
xprint? something else?) was the crucial one.

If your system is not new enough, you could try the remedies
mentioned on my page (creating a userContent.css file in the
chrome directory, and removing some xprint fonts).

It seems that on my system, Thai is printed using the freeserif
font (which supports many languages, including Thai). Do you have
that installed?
