Now I'm really confused -- and not a little concerned. At home (where I first
experienced the problem) I have an inkjet printer (Brother). I brought my
conundrum to work where we have PostScript printers, on which the files print

but I don't know where to begin to diagnose this issue at home. Again, any
insights would be welcome...
