I am using the HP driver laserjet III with ps support to print them, both on the linux side and the windows side. That is, both the windows laptop and the linux desktop send a postscript file to my linux printing box, which runs propietary linux drivers from Lexmark which converts postscript into something my Z53 understands. The odd thing is that pdf2ps produces valid postscript which displays and prints fine. So, it really sounds more like an acroread issue, both in windows and in linux, than an issue with the pdf. Well, if you are interested, send me the file and I will see if I can print it with Adobe ACROBAT (not just acroread) which I have on my unmentionableOSpartition.
