Printing to a Lexmark X748de

Question

While I'm here I have a question that has been bothering me for a while. I often create quickie diagrams for my company in Illustrator such as this.

But when I print it icomes out something like this.

Never any rhyme or reason as to what is missing...it is never just bitmap images, or all vector, or all on a certain layer.

I have tried various settings in the printer drivers with no success. Printability is enabled for all layers. My workaround is to save as PDF and print.

Thoughts?

Yes I would agree this is a postscript /driver issue. Try Lexmark website, login, and see if they have a new driver.

What color type are those lines set to Spot, CMYK, RGB?

You should be set to level 3, but try level 2 just incase. We probably could edit your prefs to make level 2 default if needed. Don think hat will help, but you never know.

I do not mind sharing the file...however I know it is not an issue with the file itself. This has literally happened to hundreds of documents over the course of 2 years.

I guess I should clear something up as well, in the above example, it will print like the pictured above, each time to the Lexmark printer. Subsequent prints do not randomly change the printout (if that makes sense).

Also printing to a Canon inkjet printer has absolutely no problems.

So the issue has to do with printing to this Lexmark 748de. I was thinking some sort of software, driver, Post Script issues?
