Howdy,

Sigh... it prints fine through TeXShop/Preview on my system. The fact  
that it prints ok through Adobe Reader but not TeXShop (or Preview I  
assume) indicates a problem with the printer driver or the OS. What  
version of OS X are you using? Does your printer have a Postscript  
emulator/interpreter? Sorry for all the questions.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
