If you go to attributes, is it set to overprint (command f11)? uncheck the box and it should print.

Its not a link ether, Its just a placed vector in the indesign file.
- Placed or pasted. If it's placed, it's a link. If it's pasted, it might be on a non-printing layer.monospaced
- sorry its pasted... everything is on one layer and everything else prints.Claymantis
- then PLACE it insteadmonospaced

Ok, save the illustration in Illustrator, AGAIN, as a new file, and try placing it instead. Report back asap.

If you have clipping masks or union-shapes in pathfinder > Indd sometimes has a hard time to print them.

There are 3 spots where the vector exists. 1 of them prints and the other 2 do not. I going to take the one that does and just use that everywhere else. I was trying to avoid doing this because I hate lining everything up again because its a complicated composition.
- Just OPEN IT IN ILLUSTRATOR and place it. That's what everyone else would do.monospaced

Thanks anyways for the help guys!

Check out the Ink Manager in the Output section of the print settings dialogue. If one of your spot colors is printing, something could be wrong in there.
