I was looking at it with the "default viewer" for Ubuntu 10.04LTS.  
Whether it is Adobe or not, I do not remember if I installed it, it may 
not be an issue for everyone.  The viewing and the printing that shows 
the hairline might be a system dependent issue.  It could be a 
resolution issue for printing and viewing.  If you print it out with 
"graphics" at 150 dots-per-inch, it may be there, or not.  At 300 dpi is 
could be there, or not.  At 600 dpi, the same.  It could just depend on 
what the printer settings are at for the print job.  For me, I use 300 
dpi for standard printing of graphics, but for printing of documents 
that will be reproduced and given out, I go for 600 dpi or greater.

I just printed it out on my Epson Artisan printer.  I use US Letter 
paper so I used "shrink to fit page" and use the print quality option 
for "text with image".  Also I did not use borderless printing.  When I 
looked at the I did not find any hairlines at all.  Of course, there was 
wide borders on the top and bottom of the landscape orientation paper, 
so to me the original size was not 11 inches by 8.5 inches.  Maybe it 
was 11" by 7.25" originally.

So my printing did not show any hairlines.

Are you printing it out on an Inkjet printer or a Color Laser printer?

I just tried it on an HP Color Laserjet 2600n.  No hairline there as well.
