Hi Chris,
I did not explicitly set xlink:actuate attribute to onRequest, or anything for that matter and I think the attribute value is defaulted to onRequest in the DTD (and thus the SVG DOM implementation).
I will look into setting this attribute to onLoad as you suggest.
The answer to my problem is more likely to be in the JPEG itself, indeed, what I thought was a pure black and pure white JPEG turned out to have other than rgb(0,0,0) and rgb(255,255,255).
Thanks,
Patrick

why is actuate set to onRequest instead of onLoad?

It sounds as if that printer driver believes you when you say the JPEG
is only fetched on user request, while the other implementations are
ignoring the attribute.
