Ah that may be the problem.

With Linux, the print system will detect that the file is a PDF and will 
(usually with ghostscript) parse the pdf and convert it into a form that 
the printer will understand.

For Windows, you need to use a reader (like Adobe's Acrobat reader) to 
view the pdf, then print from there. If you try to send direct to the 
printer, windows will think it's a plain text file and you will see 
output like you describe.

This goes for any PDF document, not just the output of Retep PDF-II.
