I think this wasn't an Impression glitch, but rather a Postscript one.
The PS3 driver (by Martin Wuerthner and John Tytgat, ?2009) cured this
problem, along with many many others. Furthermore, it's much much
faster than the buggy old Acorn PS2 driver, which dates from 1995 or
before. And the resulting files are much smaller, and therefore
transmit to the printer in less time. I wouldn't be without PS3.
