Yes, thank you, but I think my problem is more serious than I thought. Barlines 
appear much, much thicker on printed paper 
than on PDF or PNG!

Leftmost barline (the one on the left edge of the staff) appears thin, just 
like the staff lines. But standard barlines seem to be five or six times 
as thick; moreover, (try to explain well, Paco) their top and bottom ends are 
higher (and lower, respectively) than the topmost (resp. lowest) staff 
line, surpassing the system in length, as if they were surrounded by a rounded 
outline. 

On next days I'll try to scan a prined copy to show you what I'm saying.

I have a recent Laserjet driven by PS drivers (I've heard that it works 
internally with PCL anyway).

Has anybody a similar problem?

Maybe it's just my printer. She doesn't seem to like LP too much.
