I've completed my U.S. tax forms in the fillable PDFs provided by the
Internal Revenue Service.  Now I want to print them to (yes) submit through
snail mail.

In the past, I was happy printing from Acrobat 9, which is still fine for
display purposes.  But with my new printer (Brother DCP-L2640DW), printing
from Acrobat fails.  The request gets to the printer, but localhost:631 shows
"Can't detect file type".  So I've been happy printing from qpdfview, until
now.  Now the dollar amounts I entered on the forms look OK in qpdfview's
display but print in a very thin font.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Xpdf prints show a font that is a little too thick, and xpdf offers none of
the printer's options (e.g. double-sided printing).  I don't try Evince
(Gnome) or Okular (KDE) because I run the fvwm window manager.

Thanks.
