We have had some strange printing problems with Ubuntu, using a networked
printer and a student-configured NIS server. I had always assumed the
problems were due to a configuration error here, _but_ in case I'm wrong
or you somehow have the same error, I'll pass this along: sometimes I
have better (or worse) luck when I switch previewers or switch between
postscript and PDF. So, I recommend you try exporting from TeXmacs as
_both_ a PDF _and_then_ as a postscript file (.ps), and then try printing
each one from _both_ the "gv" _and_ "evince" previewers. Since your file
looks good in the preview but won't print, I suspect the problem is more
to do with your printer than with TeXmacs, though just today I thought
that about a file I had generated with OpenOffice and ended  up having
to change things by setting the page orientation in _two_ places within
OpenOffice ... but that is another story.

I hope I have managed to include something useful in my rambling. Good
luck with your attempt to fix this under time pressure.
