That is exactly the point I was trying to make for any who would like to 
print their own book using an Ink Jet Printer. It is a _problem inherent 
with all Ink Jet Printers_ and regardless of whose PDF reader is used. 
At least it was a problem with all PDF Readers I tried and I tested 
several some time ago. In my testing I used exactly the procedure you 
described above. At least, as I have pointed out, there is a solution 
available.

The fact that you had no problem with multipage printing of documents 
from Scribus confirmed what I have suspected for some time but since I 
did not have a Laser Printer I could not prove it. _Laser Printers 
obviously do not have the unprintable area surrounding the sheet._
