Anyone else having their printers fail to print page 22 of this pdf? I have tried 3 different printers and none will print this page.
I haven't tried this in particular, but I have had printing fail occasionally on high graphics pages.
I have had luck changing PDF viewers (such as Acrobat 5.0 -> 9.0). I'd worry about that more than the printer.

I haven't tried this one, but I have a question: What kind of printer are you using (make, model, age, etc.)?
Also, you might try going to the printer manufacturer's website, download and install the latest print driver for your OS and retry (just try printing the page in question if you haven't done that yet).

I know with my computer it is a memory issue. And it happens with every mod since the switch to the graphical faction missions.

To answer the posts about the make and model of the printer, it's not a home printer. It's a large office-sized color laser printer. I know it's not a printer problem, because the rest of the module printed out perfectly. Just page 22. I attempted to print to a different printer and then as a PDF, and all three attempts failed.

Hey Todd -
Good to know. I work as an engineering subcontractor for a multi-bajillion dollar global aerospace giant. We have some pretty nice, high-end printer/faxer/copier/collater/fancy-style office printers (networked, of course). Whenever I've tried to print a Paizo PDF to one of them them, I always have to flatten and print the document as an image or it will take a ridiculous amount of time.
Have you tried this? Adobe -> Print -> Click the Advanced button in the lower left hand corner -> check the Print As Image box.
By contrast, my rinky-dink Lexmark color printer at home never has this problem. It prints fine without the image thing.
One last suggestion: try to take a high-res snapshot (in Adobe, with the snapshot tool) of the whole page, paste/fit it into Power Point, then print that.
Good luck.

Thanks, I'll try that but I'm just confused as to why it's happening with this one page out of the entire document, when I've never had this sort of problem with the printer before (printed off every scenario on it so far) and like I said, the majority of this one. For some reason, page 22 is messing it all up!

It might not be a single reason. It could be a multitude of factors that for a Perfect Storm of "page 22 won't print." Who knows.
However, it sure sounds like a memory issue; either with the computer or with the printer (or potentially the network's ability to transfer the page information from the computer to the printer buffer).

My recommendations are to make sure your PDF viewer is up to date, and your printer drivers are up to date. Further, check the *type* of printer driver your have—many printers have a variety of drivers, and if you have the choice, PDFs generally work better with PostScript drivers than PCL drivers; if you only have PCL drivers as an option, choose PCL 6 drivers over PCL 5 if you can.
You might also want to try printing from a different PDF viewer.

And this would cause everything to print except for one page in the document? I can't wrap my head around that. My brain is exploding!

Those faction pages always take a lot of flattening for me before they will print out. If youre computer is having trouble with them you might try when printing choose advanced: print as image. Might be easier on your system and get them printed.
I had forgotten before, but I think this did indeed help me in the past.

I have been having trouble printing the new scenarios this month and the PFS players guide. I was using Adobe Acrobat 9 on my mac and I end up with one of the fonts totally flaking out.
I switched to my PC and printed the same documents with Adobe Acrobat 9 no problem.
So I do not know what the problem is, a font issue maybe. Is Paizo using a new font? <le sigh>
Oh, fwiw, I am using a color laser printer 2600n, and the OS of my two machines are Mac OS-X 10.6.7 and the Windows is Vista Business 2007, both system have the most recent service packs, and the adobe Acrobat readers are updated to the most recent updates from Adobe.
