I'm assuming you're getting a limitcheck or vmerror PostScript error,
not the "typecheck" error that Acrobat Reader 3.01 would produce
on some PostScript Level 1 printers.
The problem is that the IRS forgot to embed the fonts used in the document,
and since they are using some very non-standard fonts, most users don't
have them on their system and they have to be synthesized by the PostScript
interpreter at print time. Unfortunately, your printer does not have enough
memory to synthesize the missing fonts.
Several solutions exist. The easiest is to print using Acrobat Reader 4.0,
and select "Print As Image" as the Print Method from the Acrobat 4.0
tab in your print dialog. This feature was put into Acrobat specifically
to address these kinds of problems.
