Printing black background

Whenever I print a pdf document, it comes out with a black background and white text. This is not how it appears on screen, but an inversion of the black and white I see on the soft copy. It does this whether I choose to print in either b&w or colour.
 
This is obviously a huge waste of toner and quite difficult to read/mark up.
 
I've uninstalled and re-installed acrobat reader, but the problem persists.
 
What setting do I need to change to get things to print normally?

Hi

I can give you a couple of pdfs if it helps, but it's been a widespread issue. Almost everything I have printed from Acrobat reader has printed as a negative. The only exception was one time I printed a pdf document that was loaded in a Google Chrome window rather than as a standalone pdf.

This makes me think I have something strange in my settings, I just have no idea what it is.
