I recently had what may be the same problem - (though its not an IDL colour
table, I'm pretty sure, because I was printing in BW): colour indexes 0-255 are
not all distinguishable on our laser printer. 252-254 are the same; 250-251 ditto,
etc etc mostly in groups of 2. At the lower end, 0-15 and 16-31 are
indistinguishable. They are also dithered, which is OK for the large boxes
of my test-colours print, but if you tried to print a high-res image the dithering
would probably get in the way. It looks to me like our laser printers fault -
perhaps you have the same problem?

- William, just guessing again.
