Comment (by dru_ed):

 Hi. I tested r37948.  A full page prints now from BePDF.  The spool file
 is not deleted and continues to print to the printer until manually
 removed as before.  Manual removal may crash the print server requiring a
 restart.

 Testing further, I see 2-Up, that is 2 pages printed in a reduced size on
 1 sheet of paper prints incorrectly.  They should be rotated 90 degrees.
 Currently they print the correct size but the 2nd page prints half off the
 right side.

 4-Up works, although the pages are printed in an odd order for left-to-
 right reader.  Instead of a top row of pages 1 & 2, and bottom row of
 pages 3 & 4, Haiku prints 1 & 3 on top with 2 & 4 on the bottom row.

 I will note, by comparison, Mac OS X offers four options of layout
 direction with top row: 1, 2 & bottom row: 3, 4, as default.

 A gamma of 1.0 and 50% "ink" is suitably dark for the laser.
