If you have a layout in ArcGIS that wont export/ print some or all of your layers, it is most likely a problem with projections. One or more of your layers does not have a projection assigned to it. I am not sure why this prevents the printer from drawing the layer in layout view, but assigning a projection seems to fix the issue.
To assign a projection, in case you do not know, in ArcGIS 9.X, you do the following:
-right click on the data frame
-properties
-then coordinate systems
-check under predefined and pick a coordinate system for your area
This is more of a bugfix than it is anything else. Sometimes ArcEditor can be quite annoying.
This is a solution for Invisible layers in ArcGIS. Or for Hidden Layers in ArcGIS layout view
