AFAIK this is an a2ps problem. I have encountered this both with a 6L
and an old Deskjet 500.  Enscript, on the other hand, runs flawlessly
on my 6L. No missing characters and pagesize is set properly, too.

Other than the a2ps problem, I have had no trouble at all with my HP6L
What happens if you print from Ghostscript?

So long, Stephan
