Some images and text blocks have chunks broken out of them and
rearranged on the page.
If somebody wants me to scan a hard copy and e-mail it to them, I can do
that.

Printing to a file creates output.pdf. output.pdf looks correct using
Document Viewer, but prints incorrectly (identical with hardcopy
obtained by printing from source file directly).

Leads me to believe that Debian 6.0.4 should support my HP LaserJet
P2055dn OOTB.

Hopefully, that will be repeatable for someone with Debian 6.0.4 and an
HP LaserJet P2055dn.
