Printed PDF black-inked out

[Jay Cee]

Opened a one-page PDF from web site. Page opened OK but when I tried to
print the page it came out completely black-inked out, with heavy black ink
concentration on where a couple of small color pics should have been.
Printed out OK after I used Photoshop to change PDF to JPG. Other PDF on my
PC print normally. XPH and Acrobat 7.

This is the PDF

Thanks for any input.

No real idea, as it printed OK for me.
I use this instead of Adobe.

Try that in case the problem is with Acrobat.
Try on another printer if you can.

Thanks for a prompt feedback, Alan. No other printer. Indeed this might be a
printer (HP PSC750) problem. I can also try re-installing Acrobat7.

I had quite a lot of trouble with Foxit when I tried it a few months
ago. As I remember, it took over file associations without
permission. And I know that it didn't work with the New Yorker
cartoon CDs.

Try that in case the problem is with Acrobat.

It's not -- I just now printed the page just fine in Acrobat 6.0. My
printer is a Brother HL-5150.

I suspect it's something in the OP's printer settings.

Try saving the file to disk, instead of printing directly from a web
browser. Then open with Acrobat Reader (not full Acrobat) and print it. I
used version 7.07 of the reader and that worked on XP home with an HP 960c
inkjet printer.

No problems here printed out fine on HP LaserJet 1500L from XPHome.
