Recently I had this pesky problem where my office could not print to our HP printers. The printer would give an error "Unable to print file. File is corrupt". If you run a google-search on this problem, you'll find many others complaining about this problem over the last several years. On HP's forums, HP techs do their best to help people, but as far as i can tell, the problem is with HP's PDF (or PS) interpreter on their printers, so any amount of troubleshooting will not help, the problem is with HP's printers.
