I have a patron that comes in occasionally to print these Census maps. Even though it is a PDF, it's multilayered. So you need to open with a program that will condense the file to one layer.
What I do is open the file in Adobe Photoshop and then "Flatten Image".
Hope this works for you.

Subject: 2010 Census Block Maps Printing
While processing maps this morning, I found the Census website that has the 2010 Census block maps. at:
http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/maps/reference.html
As you know, in order to include them into your collection, you need to download them and have a nice maps plotter to print them out.
However, I began having trouble printing the first map (our locality). It was taking a lot of time to get it printed. Once it did, however, this is the message that I got:
ERROR: syntaxerror
Offending command: --nostringval--
Stack
/spot alias
false
Of course, when it doesn't read it, it prints out a big blank sheet with just the error message above.
The plotter printer we have is the HP Designjet T2300
http://www8.hp.com/za/en/products/designjet-printers/product-detail.html?oid=4184690#!tab=features
However, I don't know if it is a corruption in the file or the printer. The printer is saying it doesn't recognize the format.
Left a voice message to the Los Angeles Regional Office of the Census and, hopefully, I will hear from them soon.
Has anyone else had any problems printing the 2010 Census block maps?
Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.
