When printing a postage label, now it prints with an orange strip where the barcode is. Why?

When I recently printed a postage label it printed with an orange strip where the barcode is. On my computer screen it shows the barcode, but when I print the label it prints with the orange strip. Can anyone give me a reason why this is happening all of a sudden?

Other posters have complained about colour strips on their labels

but it shouldn't  take out your barcode.    Try refreshing and printing again?

PDF encoding issue. If the barcode and QR display in the PDF file on your screen, then it's not the PDF file downloaded from AP.

Turn off colour and print B&W only or try a different program to open the PDF file like native Adobe Reader. Browser PDF printing can go a bit haywire. Deleted any system fonts ?
