It turns out, by cruel coincidence that both my color printers at home and at work were out of color, and when printing the color figures, only some lines showed up on print (the same ones). Some lines didn't print, not even in faint colors.
I am not sure what happened on the B&W laser printer, but now everything is fine. I still think Acrobat Reader 8 has a problem with the eps files, but that is Adobe's problem, since acrobat reader 7 and foxit print them OK. Thanks Jean-Pierre, I didn't even suspect the printer until you mentioned the printer drivers.
