Basically what you see on the screen should be what you get on
the printer. so let me probe a bit.

What kind of printer are you using? Can you print out the
file on another printer on another machine and evaluate the
results? Or can you send me the source or finished file for 
evaluation on my computer? 

Are you using LaTeX or pdfLaTeX? Are you printing a PostScript
file directly or a PDF file from Acrobat Reader?
