Font or Anchor Point Print Issue

File problems can exist from too many anchor points in a vector file as well as issues created by fonts causing a Postscript LimitCheck error. 

Auto tracing images with great detail such as distress effects can easily overload postscript printer language leading to failures while printing. As powerful as computers are, postscript still has a limit to how many anchor points it will properly process (Limitcheck). 

Building a clean file properly or reducing anchor points (such as flattening) or slicing the graphics into multiple paths are ways to help files print. Most vector graphic programs offer options to control this.

When using a font, if the font is not an Adobe font or has not been fully tested to stand up during printing, you can have a failure to print. A distressed font is even harder to print. If the font is bad it can be converted to outlines/curves. But, doing this can also create a lot of anchor points. If this fails, convert the font to a high res bitmap.
