InDesign 4 is also known as InDesign CS2.

The problem is that the Adobe PostScript Level 2 implementation in the LaserJet 4M was a little unusual (but not out-of-spec) and that the Adobe Core Technology Group that implemented the printing code was not familiar with the quirk in that implementation. The PostScript that is generated falls into that "hole" so to speak. We know of no other Adobe PostScript printers that expose this issue.

Unfortunately, since the LaserJet 4M is so old (at least 12 years since that very popular model was sold new), it was tested with when InDesign 4 and Illustrator 12 were in QA during their release cycles. When the bug was found, we needed to find such a printer via eBay!
