And he is doing it remarkably better :)

I have used Netscape at school on HP and SGI workstations, and I have
printed webpages from Netscape with a very good result.
On the other hand, using MSIE under Windows (and I am almost 100 percent
certain this also applies to Netscape under Windows) doesn't lead (in my
opinion) to a result that is even close to what I have experienced with
Netscape on the HP/SGI workstations.
Why is that?
And yes, I know it is even worse on the Amiga.

I have used XPDF a couple of times and have exported it from there as
PostScript. It seems to work quite well when I copy it to the printer
afterwards.
