grayed out pdf files when printing

[Alva Ware-Bevacqui <abevacqu -at- ATEX -dot- COM>]

     Last week I posted a message about my .pdf files coming out gray when
     I print them. I got a few good suggestions:

     --When creating PDF files use Distiller. If you are already using
     Distiller, then you might try changing the printer driver that's being
     used to create the Postscript file.

     --Making sure your printing is turned on in the settings file for .pdf
     files. The menu choices for the settings are File>>>Document
     Info>>>Security.

     --If these are documents you created, it might be the printer driver you
     use to create the pdf file, rather than the one you're trying to print
     with.

     --Check Acrobat settings when you create a postscript file that the
     Distiller uses.

     --Select the halftone option for the printer if the document uses high res
     halftone screens.

     Unfortunately, I couldn't resolve the problem, and I am having the tech
     people here look at the printer driver. I've been able to print it on
     another printer: the text comes out fine but the images look horrible. . .

     Thanks to everyone for your responses.
