Can't print color PDF in color

I have several PDF files which are in color, and will not print in color on several color printers. Using Pro-Extended 9.0.0 Acrobat. I have tried advanced settings printing as image, and a dozen other settings (like comments, etc.). Sometimes the preview is color, yet prints in B&W, but usually the preview is B&W. Always prints in B&W, no matter what printer.
 
Is there someting in document itself that prevents color printing, even though it appears in color on screen?
 
Searched this forum, and didn't find anything recent (after Version 7), but apologize if this has been covered before.
 
TIA.

The upgrade may help, but have you checked your print color management settings in Acrobat:

File > Print
Click Advanced
Click on Color Management on the left and the Settings on the right. I rarely use Printer Color Management (personally). I set this to Same as Source (unless in a tagged and ICC profile managed workflow).
