>Description:
I tried printing the FreeBSD Handbook, but the screenshots don't show up on paper. The file is book.ps.gz, 2531465 bytes, from Apr 5 04:01. 
E.g. the screenshot on page "18" (34 of 601) is completely missing. I am certain this is not a "page protection" or similar problem, the laser printer has 136 MB of RAM. Similarly the PDF document cannot be opened from acroread 4.05-5 (white pages and wrong page count by factor of 10).

The problem pages appear to be displayed correctly for a split second but then are rendered a second time but without the screenshots.
>How-To-Repeat:
I tried to print from a Debian (testing) and Windows machine.
Printing using gv 3.5.8-26 and ghostview 1.5-27: no screenshots
Printing using xpp 1.0-3.1: no screenshotsPrinting using printer's internal PS capabilities: no screenshots
Opening book.pdf using acroread: fails to load
Opening book.pdf using Windows: Acrobat 5 will not load document ("There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)."
Converting book.ps to book.pdf using Distiller: still no screenshots

>Fix:
Recreate handbook, use newer/other/better PS/PDF converters, maybe use PDF 1.3 as output format.

 Known problem.  Don't have a solution yet.  This is one reason I'm
 actively investigating the utility of the XSLT toolchain now.

Is this still a problem for you?  Recent updates to the document-building 
toolchain seem to have fixed this.

 Postscript version is printing ok now, using gv 3.5.8 (debian),
 screenshots
 are there in expected good quality. PDF still can't be opened using
 acroread 4.0,
 gives error 109. Suggest everybody uses book.ps.gz for the time being.
