The first thing to check with printing issues is that the computer 
showing the problem have the latest drivers for the printer being used. 
This can be especially relevant in cases where printing works fine on 
other computers.

It may not solve the problem, but at least it will narrow down possible 
causes.

In apps here I've found most printing issues specific to a single system 
go away when updating the printer driver.  Hopefully you'll be as lucky.
