Using the commands that you provided me in the command line worked just =
fine and the text appeared without incident.

I tried changing my code to not using a scratch file, like you =
suggested, but I got the same results as when I did have a scratch file.

(If it matters, I'm not actually printing these, but rather just going =
to the final print dialog and choosing "Open in Preview" on OS X and =
using CutePDF on Windows to create a PDF of exactly what is being sent =
to the printer).
