Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

Hello,
From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website. It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text. I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem. I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L). Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page. However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51. The text is printing correctly on their printers. The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text). Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
Thanks
Roger3

I am replying to my own question.
After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations. It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
Thanks,

Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
Any advice would be welcome

Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
Hope that this fixes the issue.

Raise without Handler error when printing pdf files in Outlook

At work sometimes I'm asked to print emails with tons of attachments, but when I attempt to print the email with the attachments through outlook, anytime there is a PDF attached, I get the "Raise without Handler!" error and also the following window:
The only way I'm able to print the PDF file is by opening the file directly and then printing it from the actual Acrobat program. At work we use Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's pretty time consuming when I'm printing an email with 20+ PDF attachments.

Hi Hisami,
Hope you are well.
Latest adobe & chrome versions. IE is an older version.
OS Windows home premium 7
Adobe Reader X1
Does adobe have chat?
Bit of background:
I have a monthly subscribtion with adope create and everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a free trial of I think acrobat so I could edit pdf and around the time I got a redirect virus on google chrome. So I deleted all adobe and used Norton power cleaner.
Then tried download (reinstall) adobe create. Now I can't open any of my many pdf files. Just get 'Raise without handler".
Thanks for looking into this,
Andrew

When printing PDF file, have FORM TEXT in text fields

When I print a PDF file, I get { FORMTEXT } in all the text fields (as well as { FORMCHECKBOX } for where the person would circle an answer) and I don't know how to turn it off. Appreciate any help.
I also get symbols where there should be a regular empty box (where then someone would just put an x or check mark).

Do you mean that you get this when printing FROM a word document with
form fields TO a PDF? If so, you have to turn off your Word option
that prints field names.

Cannot change printer properties when printing PDF files in IE8

Whenever I try to print a PDF file displayed within IE8, I cannot change the printer properties from the print dialogue box. the properties button appears as if it as if it is active because it visually confirma a click; however no properties dialogue box appears. printing html from IE8 works fine.
If I save the PDF to desktop and print from there, I can change properties fine.
Running Win7/64; IE8 (32 bit version). Another PC in the household, also running Win7/64 and IE8/32 does not exhibit this problem.
Printer is Officejet 6500 E709a connected to local workgroup via ethernet cable; I have uninstalled via add remove programs and reinstalled the printer software from the HP CD. It did not help.

I cannot access 'properties' for my hp1536dnf mfp.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately yes, I get a very pale and unreadable print even if I do as you suggested.
I have also checked to make sure the colors are black on white background.

HP Laserjet P2055dn won't print pdf files

I have just hooked up a new iMac with Mac OS 10.9.5 and now my reliable HP Laserjet P2055dn won't print .pdf files anymore--it just hangs for hours. I am an academic and work 50% with pdf's. I tried to download a new driver from the HP site for all MAC OS systems 10.7 and up, but the message when the download was finished opened up in a little box that reads: "ljp2055_Firmware_Upd Image not recognised."
I've unplugged, plugged back in, turned off, turned back on countless times. Don't know what else to try?
Thank you.

Hi john, I did some looking around and maybe try this page for some tips, sometimes the microsoft forums help me out dearly.

Unidentifiable text when printing PDF's

When printing PDF's from Adobe Reader XI with my HP Laserjet J410 printer I get a document filled with unreadable font which overlaps itself as shown below. I'm running Windows Server 2012 R2 and have checked the printer settings as far as I know they are all fine. I have looked for an option to restore the printer settings to there default but haven't found anything. Printing PDF's works fine with my other printer it is just this one which seemingly has an issue. Any suggestions?

Try Print as Image (Advanced button on Print panel).
