Symptoms

 Lines are printing extremely thick, from the Editor, after a printer driver update from HP.

 

Cause

 This is a bug in HP's drivers, as they are not scaling line width correctly in MM_ANISOTROPIC mode.

One potential workaround is to use the Print as Image feature, in the Editor's print dialog, but this can increase the size and time of the print job, so is not ideal for all situations. Another workaround is to download the following ZIP file, extract the contents and run the registry keys within:
