Adobe Reader DC printing black bars after Anniversary update
-
One of my customers called today telling me that a sizeable number of their PDFs were printing with black bars, here's an example.

A fairly quick Google search turned up this thread, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2197916
Seems like this problem started after installing the 1607 update.
The current work around found by a forum poster is
Using the "print as image option" - no black lines.

Check for the Print Driver.
I had a printer do this years ago (Windows 2000) I aptly named it my Government driver as everything was blacked out. All the text on the Windows Printer Test pages appeared to have been Redacted.

We've tried three different printers and printing to the Windows 10 PDF Print Driver - all have the same results.
It's not all PDFs either, maybe a third of them.

Did you unistall adobe, reboot and reinstall?
Did you go get sumatra pdf (portable) and test printing from that?

Is it 1/3 if you print the same document 3 times, or does a document that gets 'redaction lines' always get them?
