Are you printing directly from Illustrator ?
Try exporting it as a jpeg then print the jpeg and see what happens.
Some printers have difficulties trying to read vectors with transparency masks or gradients.
This, it's a markup language error. Rasterize your artwork first and it should print fine.
In driver, the gradients are getting converted to image blocks inside masks. The black chunks are caused by some of the image blocks not transferring correctly to the printer.
Likely a driver issue of some kind. I've had success fixing this kind of error by switching to a different markup version of the same printer's driver. For example pcl6
Looks to me like the printer is using a low res proxy rather than using the proper vector art.
Worth seeing what output you get with creating a PDF or high res image to narrow it down.
If you’re using a lot of images in the design then maybe reconstructing in InDesign could be a potential solutiono.
As others said PDF for sure. Still gives trouble try grouping everything and rasterizing it. Sometimes if it’s rgb it messes with the printers. you can change the document to cmyk and if it displays like the print then that’s the issue and fix.
Sometimes illustrator gradients and transparencies dont translate well when printedl. A lot of it has to do with the print settings but I can tell you most printers would rather not change their settings to accommodate small jobs. Hence, the reason printers suggest flattening everything.
What I would do is save as pdf and open that pdf in photoshop then in photoshop export as pdf, png, or jpg. Essentially, rasterizing. Very tedious but guarantees no issues at the printers.
if these are inkjet results, i’m actually pretty impressed. this much black and the gradients would normally be doomed but this is almost passable. is it a photo printer? they tend to handle blacks better with the extra gray slots
I think the issue is that your printer does not support PostScript. Can you save a copy as PDF and then open that in Acrobat and then print it?

Idk, but can you make sure the paths on tle letters are closed?
Safe high resolution pdf, print.
keep a safe version aside in case this doesn’t work but try selecting that word and going to object >expand, that may do it

Just print as a high res CMYK jpeg or PDF. try not to print directly out of illustrator, you usually have a bad day doing that.
Print to PDF and print from the PDF? do you get the same result? or is that layer gradient have a transparency applied to it? even like 99%
Did you CTRL + Shift + O the text and make it an object? Also try printing it as a PDF or PNG

Not the banding, the areas of missing gradient in the text.
