[lug] Black bar between pages when printing 2 pages/sheet.

[Bruce Long]

I just tried to print with psnup -4. There are black bars between pages and
sometimes even between lines.

I have tried printing a wide variety of ps and pdf files. Some I have
printed this way on various printers over the years. So I don't believe that
the problem would occur on your printer.
