As I always say to anyone who is having trouble with closed source software:
If you had the Source Code, you could see exactly what the problem was!

My guess is that attempting to print to a fax is triggering the 
lame "protection" mechanism built into Adobe Reader.  Ditch it in favour of 
an Open Source alternative; kpdf  (KDE),  evince  (Gnome)  or xpdf  (any).  
These readers don't bother attempting to enforce daft restrictions, and if 
they did they could be patched around.
