      I wonder why I don't have any issue on my machine with this.

      Could still be Print Driver........I am using Adobe Acrobat ProXI.

      So maybe the issue is more with print drivers? I don't have a printer connected to my PC and the default "printer" is set as One Note.

        I get it when using PDF995, which I think uses some 'ghostscript' arcanery...

          My WAG......Printing w/HLR yields a partially vector based file....no? (lines are vector...& text appears to be raster....to me anyway)

          I tested this using windows XPS writer.......which I am pretty sure saves as a .jpg or similar image file. (all raster)
          I do not have any other print driver installed to test further.

          PS:
          XPS Writer does not black out the text.

            Just following up........I looked to the Trimble SU........Knowledge center.......(search) HLR.

            As I suspected.......the HLR print (output) option is vector based output.

            So...somewhere......somehow.....the black dimension boxes are cause/effect of......??

            SU dimension text fails to convert/display as vector?

            User "success" in printing to HLR (w/o blacked out dimension text) .....most likely does not contain any vector based attributes. (IOW: print driver is really printing as .jpg/or other "image" file)

            I do not have an answer/solution.......but to say the HLR print option......when used with a vector capable print driver.......will unfortunately create the blacked out text/dims. as depicted above.

            Best,
