I did some experiments with this particular layout.

My printer understands HP's PCL 5e language. So I tried some more
creative ways to convert the postscript file produced by PCB to PCL:

pstoraster (EPS Ghostscript) and rastertohp (comes with CUPS) - printout
is in very low resolution.

GPL Ghostscript with HPIJS plug-in (official HP driver) - printout has
various elements (lines, polygons) in wrong positions.

GPL Ghostscript with built-in ljet4 driver - works as expected.



I would like to add that all of these print the CUPS Postscript "Printer
test page" perfectly. I still believe that the postscript that PCB
produces has an error - the last way I tried just seems to be the most
resistant to it.

Best regards
Tomaz
