Lev,
You aren't by any chance trying to view/print these files via
ghostview/ghostscript are you? I've found that the commands which change
the linewidth aren't interpreted correctly and linewidths remain set to
thin. You need to send the file directly to the printer from the command
line.

Cheers,
Russ
