pdf is not postscript. It is a different language. A postscript
printer cannot print pdf.

Bill, using Acrobat Reader I have printed VERY simple PDF pages on my
postscript printer, so I know that postscript printers can print PDF.
The pages that have printed have very little content (partial page), and
one or few fonts; (usually text-only, and not much of it).
Unfortunately, those simple pages come along maybe 1 out of 100 pages.
Ninety nine percent of the time I get the print error, so I don't even
try to print unless the page looks extremely simple, and many times that
doesn't work.


Postscript printers can't print PDF. This does driver - converts PDF -
PS. This seems to me that acrobat reader does its work bad. You can use
alternative - ghostscript. This is postscript interpreter that can also
convert documents between PDF and PS. Exact command is pdf2ps.
