"If the engine is the same and the variance lies with the drivers, it
would seem you've found your answer."

Yes.  But what I don't understand is, why is Rev the only app that has these
problems?  Open Office prints identically to my home printer, to cups-pdf,
to the office printer, on Mandriva or Debian or Ubuntu.  So do text editors.  
Rev must be doing something very different.

There are problems with Linux printing drivers, but they have to do with
making printers work, not all do.  They are not these kinds of problems.

I gather that in 4.5 there is going to be a print to pdf in Rev itself. 
That has the potential to solve the problem at once.  If you can print to
pdf, you can then pass it to some pdf reader and just print from that.  But,
but, if I understood correctly, this facility is only going to feature in
the Enterprise version?  That is just not possible, is it?
