I've been having trouble printing up my copy of Shadowlore... I have the file
(all 2.1 megs of it) and have tried printing it numerous times, but all I can
get is the first 4 pages (up through the table of contents) before it stops
printing.

Now, I've used an application called ghostview (like ghostscript, but it
prints to screen), and I've scanned the netbook... pretty impressive is all
I'll say right now... and there doesn't seem to be any problem with the file
that way...

Using some of the ghostview options (pulling out and printing a specific page,
etc) I've printed page 5, and have discovered another problem (I could print
page 5 by itself, but not after the previous 4)... the end of the line in the
first column overlaps onto the beginning of the line in the second column...
basically making the center of the page a mess of nearly indecipherable
text...

So my question is, is this a problem that other people have encountered? Have
they been able to fix it? How? Is it a problem, not with the file, but my
printer? My software? Something else entirely? Can anybody give me an idea as
to just what is going on here? It is getting rather frustrating (I've been
messing with this since the 17th, when I downloaded the thing).

Rob, or anybody else out there, can I have a little bit of help? E-mail me or
post to the list... I'll be checking both regularly...
