OPT-clicked on the document link, it downloaded to my downloads folder, opened
it in Preview (my default setting for all PDF files), CMD+P, and successfully
printed page 1 of 1. HP PSC 1510 all-in-one, OS X 10.4.6. Changed it to open
w/Acrobat Reader 7.0.7, printed page 1 of 1 with total gibberish. I conclude
that it's an Adobe specific problem.
