Printing is hell

hello Sarah,

Well, printing to the virtual Printer gives me satisfaction : the  
produced pdf-file, when printed out on the same printer, has no  
problems ???

That's why I'm confused, and I think that there is a problem with the  
REv-app...

I did not try it on other machines, so I can't really tell if it's  
specific to the machine I use in my classroom (XP)...

At home, on my Mac, everything's ok.... Perhaps, it's a Win related  
problem ?


Any ideas ?

Christian
