Well, I've saved the file to postscript using acroread and, alas, the
first line also reads "%!PS-Adobe-3.0" yet I can print it fine from the
command line . . . things just won't print from acroread. Thus, it's
not terribly impeding but I would be happy to solve the mystery and
get the user who is complaining of this off my back. If it prints from
the command line, I see no reason why it shouldn't print from
acroread.
