Problems printing PDF documents

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hi

Can anyone please help me debug this problem.

I'm trying to print from computer B to a printer attached at computer A. 
All documents print just fine, except for PDFs. I have occasional 
success printing PDFs through KPDF, but no luck whatsoever using 
acroread. I have included the output of the "diagnosis" from the print 
dialogue, but am unsure how to proceed past this point.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Andy
