Acrobat & PCL Printers

[Charles Dyer]

I've got Adobe CS2.3. This means that I have Acrobat Pro 8.0. I also  
have a Brother HL-2070N printer. This printer prints using PCL6. It's  
a nice printer, fast, well-behaved, everything I could want... except  
that if I send a multipage document to it from Acrobat, it prints  
just the first page. If I send the same document to it with the print  
settings set to reverse print order, it prints just the last page. If  
I send the same document to it one page at a time, it prints each  
page in turn. If I send the same document to it from Preview, it  
prints the whole thing.

It does not appear to be a driver issue, and in any case I've got the  
latest driver from Brother's site and installed it. It does not  
appear that Acrobat is corrupt, as everything else works and in any  
case I reinstalled Acrobat from the application CD. It does not  
appear to be a system problem as it does this with CUPS 1.1.15 (the  
default version, installed with OS X) and 1.2.4 and 1.2.8. And with  
1.1.5 again, installed when I did an archive and install of 10.4 and  
updated it to 10.4.9. And, besides, only Acrobat has this problem.  
Other apps, including other Adobe apps, print multipage documents to  
that printer without any problems whatsoever.

Worse, Acrobat _does_ print the _same_ multipage documents which give  
trouble with the Brother to my HP PSC1350 inkjet MFD, using the HP  
drivers or the Foomatic drivers, so it's not the documents, or the  
documents combined with Acrobat, either. It's specifically that it  
absolutely will not print multipage documents to just that particular  
printer. And only to that particular printer.

Does anyone have any clue as to what on earth might be happening, and  
how to fix it?
