section*{Version 1}

begin{tikzpicture}
draw (0,0) -- (1,0) -- (1,1) -- (0,1) -- cycle;

both, version 1 and version 2, seem to produce the same result.



Output of the MWE



In version 1, however, the line from (1, 0) to (1, 1) is printed twice. Can this lead to any kind of problem when creating a hardcopy on a laser printer, on an offset printing machine or on another printing device?



I am asking this question because in more complex scenario based on various commands it may be diffucult to detect if the same line occurs twice in the TikZ picture.

    I think I did have some issues with something similar to this... But, I seem to recall that the issue were really old drivers. However, when you have dashed lines overlapping normal lines, you sometimes are even able to see them on the pdf file itself, you don't even need to print it.

    (what happened is that a point was skipped by the drivers, and a line straight through the middle of the image appeared on all copies for my students...)
