I had a bit of a shock when I came to print this one - I don't know if it was a new version of firefox, but the grid printed across more than half the page, and most of the clues were cut off. I found that if you went to the browsers print page (rather than clicking the "print" link on the crossword club) I could resize the print, so at 70%, I had a regular sized grid and all of the clues on one page.
Same thing happened with the Listener, so I guess my browser doesn't like the barred-grid print link.
I did pretty well with the puzzle, getting about three quarters out before scurrying to the dictionary. There's still one I can't figure out the wordplay for, so unless it comes in the next few minutes I may have to appeal to the hive mind.
Away we go...
