Don't know gavin, after 3 days of chat session with adobe customer support yielding no results, but i noticed one thing that during one of those sessions, everything seem to work quite smoothly. it was only after switching off my pc and restarting it caused the problem again, as i follow the regular regime for printing file as ctrl+p n hit enter. thats when i tried several permutation n combinations as i was very sure there was nothing wrong with my files and some of worked during the support sessions, so there has to be something causing the issue. so it was just pure luck and perseverance.

I'm glad that it did work out for you also.
