Disappearing Character When Printed

[eli marcus]

Hi Eric, 
this sounds to me like a Postscript/printer driver issue.
Years ago, while working at a digital printing shop, I discovered that certain characters (in a foreign language) would disappear in printing, and often the whole sentence between such characters would also disappear. 
The issue was the Postscript definitions of the printer driver (at the time it was an industrial HP 5 series printer).

I suggest trying to use a different postscript driver for printing both to PDF and to the physical printer.
One of the good old standbys that always worked for me was an Agfa postscript driver that is in the native Windows library of printer drivers installed with Windows.

Another avenue to explore may be the "include fonts" settings in the Acrobat/PDF distiller settings - and it is always recommended to print to postscript when creating a PDF, rather than use the PDF Maker or other plugins, which create PDF by a different path than the regular postscript.
