Adobe is always offering features that exceed the ability current rips have.
One thing you could do when you create your pdf is set the transparency flattener to ignor spread overides (your spread flattening default may be set to ignore transparency.)
Another thing is to print the file to postscript (making sure your transpaerncy flattener is set the way you want it, then print to postscript. Then distill the file using the pdfx1a setting (Acrobat 6). It's a great way to preflight the job. If you can't make a pdf this way, chances are it wouldn't print anyway.
But even with this, your transparency flattened pdf may be too complicated for your rip to comprehent, because in the process of flattening you file now has so many paths, it is too large to rip.
But in the end, I think your printer just isn't keeping up with the technology. There are ways around that problem (transparency), and if they can't help you out, you might want to try another printer.
