Printing a PDF Embedded in a web page

I maintain a custom Project Management System for our company which includes a document management system. Orders from our customers come in as either an email or a fax. Emails are saved as plain text and faxes as PDFs then the file is uploaded to our system.

We have an order summary form that is automatically generated for each Job Order - this is a quick reference for those working on the job. Since we have the original order uploaded into our system, it has been requested that the order be printed on the order summary. I've set up a system that puts the PDF files into the order summary in an EMBED tag and it works fine - on the computer screen. Unfortunately, the PDF will not print when the generated form is printed. I've tried changing to an OBJECT tag just to see if it yields the same results and it does. I've also verified that the print background setting is set to on. Each workstation has a copy of Acrobat Standard 6 or 7 - I've taken a look at the settings there and don't see anything that would prevent it from printing. Printing the PDF itself works fine, just not when it's an embedded item.

Here is the EMBED tag that is generated on the form: 

      EMBED src="/Boston/Documents/110034698/Other/110034698-.pdf#zoom=50&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0"
      border=0 width="100%" height=500




My question is this: Is it possible to have a PDF embedded into an HTML form that will print out when the form is printed?

If it is, what do I need to do to make this happen? Is it a something with the HTML code embedding the file? Some command that needs to be sent with the embedded link? Or is it something within the settings for Acrobat?

Thanks in advance!
