print correctly on other PostScript printers?

Acrobat, can you print correctly from PostScript?
• What application and/or PDF software created the PDF file?

• Have you tried printing the PDF file using the most Current
release of system software?
• Have you tried redistilling the PostScript file again?
• Have all the document fonts been downloaded and included
