我最近遇到了同样的问题这个帖子由于它似乎仍未解决，我想添加一些细节，希望有人能够提供帮助。
我使用 Mac（OS X 10.7.5）上的 pdftex 在 Texshop（版本 3.52）中创建了一个简单的 3D pgfplot 的 pdf。我使用选项“shader=interp”和“\addplot3[surf]”，如下图所示的 MWE 所示。
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis} [
colormap/jet,
shader=interp,
mesh/ordering=x varies,
mesh/cols=13,
view={0}{90}
]

输出的 pdf 文件看起来不错，但是当打印通过 Texshop、Texworks 或 Preview，它会错过整个地图，也就是图中的所有颜色。请参见下方左侧的 PDF 在查看器中的外观以及右侧的打印外观。
我尝试使用不同的打印机并更新了 Texshop，但没有发现任何差异。此外，使用“TeX 和 DVI”选项编译 pdf 或通过“\pdfminorversion”更改 pdf 版本也无济于事。我只能在使用 Acrobat reader（版本 11.0.06）打印 pdf 文件或删除代码中的选项“shader=interp”时才能解决这个问题。但这两个选项都不令人满意。
提前致谢！
答案1
经过深入的分析和讨论，我得出结论，这是相关打印机驱动程序的一个错误。没有证据表明生成的 pdfpgfplots已损坏。如果是的话，我很乐意解决这个问题。
