The title says it all. There are two problems
(1) I can no longer select text in PDF. 
(2) I cannot print in color

@dyadiddy You need to select the arrow tool (Select text) as shown here. My text in blue is selected

Can your printer print in color? Some printers are only black and white. For example, my Epson can print either in black or white (grayscale) or in color. Make sure when you go to print, the settings are set-up properly

Color: See the pink box


Grayscale (Black and white): No pink box

The selection problem is illustrated in the attached snapshot when I try to select "This". I've also attached the file so you can see if that's the problem.

Yes, my printer prints color from all my devices. Only PDF  fails, and from all devices.
