Philip, (just for completeness) when printing from Acrobat Reader 5, you've got to take into account the three checkboxes in the print dialog (in "Copies and Adjustments") which can distort your print output by scaling the PDF (the function is dependant on the printable areas supplied by the printer drivers). I guess you know that one, but I can't tell from your mail if you took that into account.
