I have looked at the sections you mentioned in the Technical Addendum, but I
don't think the problem
is the difference between DVIWINDO and DVIPSONE printing.
Although I was printing out of DVIWINDO I had the DVIPSONE box checked in
both methods.

I see there's been no reply to your query of June 3 ... Let me point
you to a few sources of documentation which may shed light on your
query.
I _think_ it's possible that the difference is due to the difference
which exists between DVIWindo and DVISPONE. In the Technical Addendum,
there's a largish section on this:
3.1. DVIWindo printing versus DVIPSONE printing
Indeed, all of section 3 is about `Printing'. You may well find some
nugget buried therein.
I believe that there are several .txt information files that come with
Y&YTeX that related directly to acrobat, pdf, and related topics. I'd
recommend a search on *.txt in c:\yandy and poke around there.
Let us know what you find out.
