The color and width of the lines are determined by the first "real" line that's in the image. From my ancient PostScript reference manual under "clip" Unlike fill and stroke, clip does not implicitly perform a newpath after it has finished using the current path. Any subsequent path construction operators will append to the current path unless newpath is executed explicitly. This can be a source of unexpected behavior. On my Hp DeskJet this extra line running down both margins slows printing tremendously. Most of the time is spent waiting for the print carriage to move across the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. print a page 2. or, print to a file and view with ghostview. 3. Actual Results: When printed to a file the test page below generated the following beginning on about line 1557: initclip newpath 0 741.9 moveto 576 0 rlineto 0 -713 rlineto -576 0 rlineto closepath clip 0.29 0.29 0.29 setrgbcolor gsave 0.1 setlinewidth 7 694.9 moveto 57 694.9 lineto stroke Expected Results: The "clip" on line 1561 should have been followed by a "newpath". A simple test case: <html> <head> <title>Print Test</title> </head> <body> <table border=1> <tr><th>Header</th></tr> <tr><td>Data</td></tr> </table> </body> </html>
Confirming - maybe one of the oldest and most cited issue in the PostScript module (older bugs should be DUPed to this one since it has a good technical description :) ...
