It is Lexmark Prevail Pro 700 series printer that I'm using..
 
I've tried printing the PDF from the internet. It prints very small and doesn't print the entire page... only prints the text and no images.
 
Tried saving to My Documents and then printing.... does the same thing.
 
Tried printing as an image... in printing options... still doesn't print the images.
 
And the text is very small.
 
Not sure what do and where to even start to look for an answer.

My Product Information:
Reader 10.1, Windows

Jeleko,

Are you printing a PDF downloaded from a web page, or a web page turned into a PDF? Can you give me more details...

Also, are you printing directly from Adobe Reader or from a web browser (IE, Chrome or Firefox)?

I believe it was a PDF from a web page.

I used firefox when I search the net. I figured it may by my outdated adobe reader which was only 7, so I downloaded the latest version on it 10.1.
And the PDF was opened in Adobe Reader and tried printing it through that. It some parts, only the text... but it wouldn't print the tables and pictures.

Often this issue is caused by a non-Adobe PDF Producer. Can you put a sample file on http://acrobat.com?

Have you tried using Print as Image to see if the tables and photos will print?

and yes, I did try printing it as an image... And that didn't work.

Is it possible that it's just a setting on the printer... and I'd have to contact the "help" for the printer?
I tried printing it on an HP printer at work and was able to print this on this computer and had it come out properly.
