Printer crossing out signature box

[Kom81]

I tried printing out a form so I could ink sign it, but it printed it out with the signature lines crossed out.  Any way to stop printer from doing this?  Thanks.

The printer is not aware of what it is printing.

Whatever structure is used to construct the signature box is perhaps not translating into something the printer can understand.

Open a PDF form in Adobe Reader DC 

Print the form as an image - no translation needed.

If the file will not print due to unusual content (odd fonts, color schemes, tables, other oddities), print the file as an Image.  Image printing does not require the printer software to translate file content.

1. Open the offending document in Adobe Reader DC

1. Click Print icon > Set other options on the menu > Click Advanced button

1. Set the printer select the colors (Optional)
2. Select Print the PDF file as an image
