Before anyone answers, just a bit more information.  It does seem to be
something to do with the size of the frame that has the border.  If I
make it quite small - say half the size of the page then the border
prints OK.  If I make it any larger then parts of the border start to
disappear on printing even though it is nowhere near the print margin!
