Okay:
One person posted the answer to me, it's a bug. However, I had to verify
that (no offense to the person who provided the answer and whose name I no
longer have ;?).
After six hours of sleuthing and phone calls from East to
West coast, and back, here's the scoop per an Adobe developer
guru:
A PDF that contains a PDF (as my FrameMaker doc did) can
have a problem being printed to a PostScript printer. This is
a newly discovered BUG. There is no problem printing these
kinds of files from PCL printers.
There is no alpha, beta, or released fix for this. Look for
a fix to be available August 9.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
