Adobe Reader XI won't print PDF's in color

Question

I recently built 4 new PC's for my office.  They all have Windows 7 64 bit, and are all networked to the same Canon Copy machine.  They all print Office documents just fine, in color or black and white as needed.  And all but one of them print PDF's just fine as well.  However, one of the PC's is only printing in black and white, even when we change the settings to color and even when the preview pane shows the document in color.  Gray scale is not checked.  I was able to get documents to print in color, but I had to change the "objectives" setting from "General" to "Publication".  What I'm wondering is, is there a way to change the settings on this computer so that "General" objectives print in color, or so that the default objective is set to "publication" . Please advise.

Thanks to the previous post by KCoons, I figured out how to fix a similar issue.
MY SITUATION: I was printing thousands of concert flyers to a fairly modern Ricoh printer, and I noticed that even though the source document was B&W, Adobe was printing the greyscale as dots of color, seriously depleting my color toner. I had to play around with the settings to get Acrobat Pro to print it in true B&W, using only black toner.
Later on, I discovered Acrobat would not print ANYTHING in color, while other programs had no problem with color.
THE SOLUTION: This is not exactly the same as the one posted above, which is why I am posting this as a possible alternative for users with a similar problem...
In the PRINT dialog, click on the ADVANCED button to the right of the printer selection field.
In the ADVANCED PRINT SETUP dialog, in the selection field just above the print image, click on COLOR MANAGEMENT.
On the right side, under Color Management, for COLOR HANDLING, select "Printer Color Management."
This solved the problem for me. Now I can print in color again. And it was indeed an ADOBE setting, not a printer setting.
