Lines and boxes printing incorrectly

I am using Access 2002 with SP2 on an XP system. I have designed a number of
records, forms, and reports that have graphic lines and/or boxes for data.
Although the lines and boxes appear properly in both the design view and
print preview, they are not printing properly. While the rest of the form
prints at 100%, the lines and boxes seem to be printing at about 25%.

In addition, the lines/boxes all maintain their relationship to each other,
but not the text. It is not a label with a little box in the right place --
all the text is in the right place and all boxes and graphics are reduced and
printed independently. The only workaround I have discovered is to remove
the boxes and lines, which makes the report less easy to read.

I did not find any reference to this problem in the MS Knowledge Base. In
another MS user forum, I did find one other person describing the same
problem -- but no answers/responses were posted. Any help would be
appreciated.

Turns out the answer is to print with a PostScript driver. In the
alternative, you can print to a PDF file, then print the PDF.
