There are a number of problems where the beginproblem() portion is in a
BEGIN_TEXT block.  E.G.

BEGIN_TEXT
\{beginproblem()\}


This leads to issues when you print hardcopies because the beginproblem command
outputs LaTeX macro definitions which are used.  The PGML macro definitions
include the bac-tick character (`) which is then processed as MathObject math
to be typeset.  That fails, and causes problems when rendering hardcopies. 

There isn't really a way to fix this because of how BEGIN_TEXT and beginproblem
work so for all of the affected problems the beginproblem call should be put in
TEXT() as usual.  

I have attached a list of the problems I could find.  Alternatively you could
use the same grep command I did. 

grep -Przl '(?s)BEGIN_TEXT.*\\\{\s*beginproblem\(\)\s*\\\}.*END_TEXT' .
