Hi. Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, switching to the .ppd file that ships with Intrepid causes the
problem to manifest. I received an update to HPLIP yesterday that also
caused the problem to manifest, but replacing Interpid's .ppd with
Hardy's .ppd corrects the problem.

I should reiterate that I see the problem when printing documents from
Text Editor and Gnucash's check printing. I haven't really tested any
other applications, but will do so if you think that might be helpful.
