I remember this. In my last job I found the points printed on a local
printer but not on the networked printer. I suspect this is because
the PostScript rendering was done by different RIP software. It was a
nuisance for me because the nicer printer would not print the points.
I remember trying Allan Hayes' solution of...

I remember it worked provided you had big chunky dots, but when the dots
got beneath a certain size they disappeared. This is remembering back a
couple of years, so don't take my word for it. But try another printer
if you've got one around (what me, an engineer? some mistake, surely?).
Cheers.
