Printing Hell

Can anyone point me to a Rev printing tutorial? I'm having enormous
trouble getting simple things to print properly.
For a start, 9 point text prints as 11 point, so apart from not being
what I want, the text no longer fits on the page...so I set the
printScale to 0.75.
Now the text looks ok, but the borders around it are either very faint
or missing completely...
I think what I'm trying to do is simple:
I have five vertical fields on a card, with their borders butted up
against each other, I fill each field with text, and print, with the
above hilarious results.
As you can tell, printing seems to be insanely hard to do, at least for
me. Each time I try to set up a printing scenario, I eventually give up
and resort to copying text from Rev into other apps and re-formatting
and printing from there, without problem.
I'm on OS X, and using a simple cheapo HP inkjet printer, though I've
had the same trouble with all my printers.
Any help gratefully recieved,
Cheers,
Mark
