Thank you VERY much for your reply with the additional information. In return I hope the following will benefit you in some way. It is FYI only. I do not expect a reply. PostScript is an option for many, but not all, of my customers. Attached please find a related email from HP. Additional findings: "1421700 Citrix:....."

As you might have read in the Bugzilla entry, the work-around is to use the PostScript driver instead of the PCL driver. If Adobe doesn't help, why don't you talk to HP who made the printer driver? Maybe they finally fix their drivers. I can only repeat: I don't see how FOP is at fault here. HP PCL drivers are known to cause problems. I've seen similar failures in Citrix environments when just printing Word files (although that was a PCL driver from Brother). Other people reported problems when printing to a HP PCL driver from a Java application. Switching to the corresponding PostScript driver always fixed the problem.

--- Begin Message ---Dear Waylon, Thank you for contacting HP Total Care and its a great pleasure for me to assist you. This is Alyana from HP All-in-One Technical Support Team and this reply in regard to the issue relate to HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One. I understand from your E-mail, that you are experiencing an issue while printing with Acrobat Reader(PDF file). I appreciate that you have forwarded us your concerns and given me an opportunity to assist you in this regards. -:: Issue Cause ::- The issue might be caused due to PDF file might be containing transparent objects. If a PDF document contains transparent objects, Acrobat flattens it before printing it. -:: Solution Summary ::- 1. Adjust the transparency flattening. 2. Select the default print settings. 3. Merging or flattening layers. -:: Solution ::- Waylon, If a PDF document contains transparent objects, Acrobat flattens it before printing it. Flattening removes transparency information and converts images to a format the printer can interpret. Adjust the transparency flattening to determine if transparency is causing the problem. To adjust the transparency flattening: == Step 1: Adjust the transparency flattening == 1. Choose File > Print, and then click Advanced. 2. Choose Transparency Flattening from the list on the left. 3. Adjust the Raster/Vector Balance: -- If you print to an inkjet printer, drag the Raster/Vector Balance slider to the lowest setting. 4. Select Convert All Text To Outlines. 5. Deselect Clip Complex Regions, click OK, and then click Print. 6. Select the default print settings. (Acrobat 6.0-7.0 only) Print using the default settings to determine if a variant print setting is causing the problem. == Step 2: To select the default print settings == a. Choose File > Print, and then click Advanced. b. Choose Acrobat Default (Acrobat 7.0) or Acrobat 6 Default (Acrobat 6.0) or from the Settings menu, and then click OK. c. Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click Print. 7. Merge or flatten layers. (Acrobat 6.0-7.0 Professional only) If you print a PDF file that contains layers, only the content that is visible on-screen is printed. Acrobat Professional, however, lets you specify which layer is visible and printable. Merge or flatten the layers in the PDF file to determine if a layer is causing the printing issue. Merged layers acquire the properties of the layer into which they are merged. Flattening layers discards any content that isn't visible. Note: Merging or flattening layers can't be undone. == Step 3: To merge or flatten layers == 1. Make a backup copy of your PDF file. 2. Open the copy and choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer, and then click the Clean Up tab. 3. Select Remove Hidden Layers Content and Flatten Layers, and then click OK. 4. In the Layers palette, choose Options, and then select either Merge Layers or Flatten Layers.
