Yeah, it's good there are other means..

Honestly, it doesn't even happen with all versions of XP!  Some people
have this issue, some people don't.  Nobody has been able to track it
down to a specific patch or library that causes the issue.  As for
the "out of our control", the problem resides in a gnome/gtk library
that gnucash uses..  While we could attempt to debug it, there's no
guarantee that the upstream people will accept it (although they might).
But it's not our code; and indeed other gnome apps (like gnumeric) have
the exact same printing issues apparently.
