Rex,
That would be a bug.
This issue occurs when the print option: "Selected Resources from page
<name of page>" is chosen for a composite page, and the first selected
item is an HTML file.
I have filed a bug, see: http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6840
, and have implemented a solution; see the bug report for details,
including how to patch a 2.11.1 LON-CAPA instance to eliminate the bug.
If you don't want to make changes server-side at this time, a
workaround is to add a published problem (containing a <part>) as the
first resource, and then include the part ID for that single part in
the setting for "List of hidden parts" for the resource in the course.
(You might also set the weight parameter to zero). If you do that,
the unwanted LaTeX header will be absent from the PDF printout
(although there will be a horizontal rule -- i.e., the separator
between the first (blank) resource and the next item (the content of
the HTML file, which is the second resource).

Quoting Rex Abert <abe...@tcc.fl.edu>:
I've noticed that when printing composite pages that are assembled
from html files and problems, some of the LaTeX junk from the
preamble ends up on the pdf file. Has anyone encountered this and
found a work-around?
Here is a link to a sample printout of a composite page

The Binomial Theorem provides a method for the expansion of a
binomial raised to a power. For this class, we will be looking at
binomials raised to whole number powers, in the form \ensuremath{
(A+B)^n }.
