  Oddly enough, while the reference card displays nicely on my screen, it prints as a blank page. Turning on postscript error catching gives:

  ERROR: undefined
  OFFENDING COMMAND: TZ
  
  STACK:
  
  -1
  /Courier10PitchBT-Roman
  /N19
  -mark-

  I got the same results printing both both Mozilla and IE (of course, it is the Adobe plugin in both cases that is doing the printing).

    That's not good!
    
    By "Adobe plugin" do you mean the embedded Adobe Acrobat Reader?
    
    If you're using Unix, try:

    $ ps2ps -dLanguageLevel=1 perl_test_refcard.pdf out.ps
    $ lpr -Pmyprinter out.ps

      Yes, the embedded acrobat reader. The print dialog in Win2k for my printer (an IBM Infoprint 40 PS) offers a choice of postscript level 1, 2, and 3 - I tried all 3 and got the blank page for each. I also saved the page and used a separate invokation of Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (to avoid the embedded reader), but got the same result. This is at work, running Win2k - I'll try it again from home and try the ps2ps method if basic printing still fails first.
