    Try changing all your flat fill swatches to "process color" and have the "global" check mark checked. usually this error is caused my a use of spot colors on a process printer. usually occurs if you have a Rip attached to your xerox (its a computer tower, with an lcd screen)

    Not sure but it is maybe cause with a none postscript level 3 printer. Try to downsaving your file to illustrator 8 format.

    Just a hint.

    good luck!
