Please notice that PDF/A is a special version of the PDF standard as
described on [1]. «Normal» PDF files usually do not fulfill the
strict PDF/A standard.

Therefore I do think that this failed PDF/A validation does not
necessarily mean anything at all.

Could you post the PDF software and its version which causes
printing issues? Upload an example PDF file that causes those issues
on some web space as well.

Thanks!
