Bug Description
I have custom text on Fsilk and Bsilk layers. When I printed out the PCB layout via the print dialog (to PDF file), my selection was to include top copper, edge, and top silk layers. The printout included only the component references, my custom text was not added. The same text was included without issue in the corresponding gerber file.
I will include the gerber files for the top copper, top silk, and edge layers, as well as the resulting PDF file to this bug report.

I can't reproduce this. (I'm on OSX, but it seems unlikely this would be platform-specific.)
@Todor, by "custom text" do you mean a user-defined text item in a footprint, or text added directly to the board (with the text tool)?
Also, a screenshot of the Items tab in your Layers Manager might provide some clues.
