Axel, if you are printer to a LaserWriter or similiar PostScript printer try
turning on Fractional Widths (in German: Hohe Auflo"sung). You will find this option
in Tools/Options/Print dialog box. This option is specific to the active document.
If this doesn't help try to upgrade your printer driver.
