It sounds like we're getting similar results.  I printed it to an HP 
LaserJet 5N PostScript printer on regular bond paper.  The original
printout actually worked as well, if not better, than the reduced copies.
I attributed that to photocopier degradation of the image.  Even the 
original had somewhat "sporadic movement" - but it did move reliably
*...kind of*.  I tried placing the printout under an 1/8" sheet of plexiglass
- didn't move a millimeter.  possibly too thick of plastic/distortion

Had to stop and try it again -just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating
yep, it works... the movement is jerky and relational to the scale of the grid.
i.e. it takes a few hand shuffles to move the cursor vary far on my 20"
monitor
Don't know what the difference is.  The mouse says "Model: Type 5
SUN No: 370-1398-04"  the pad is the one at

Good Luck!!!
