I need help with printing a PDF which opens albeit locked.

Problem is printing; no error message; just information message as follows

The document could not be printed kindly use our help page to troubleshoot.
If you continue to face this issue kindly reach out to adobe support for assistance.

 

I tried following:

  1. Microsoft Print to PDF which also don't print but shows different message "Insufficient data for image".
  2. Redact but sanitize option is greyed out 
  3. Compress online but Adobe think it is encrypted and did not compress.

 

I finally tried different printing setting and found one that works.

However, is there a better approach?

APPENDIX (how I modified default printer setting)

another stopgap measure is switching from default Aobe and opens with Edge.
