Weird Symbology Conversion with Print Task

Hi,

I am using a python GP service to run a print task to PDF with custom layouts. This works great, except when i have any map service enabled in the map. The layer in the resulting PDF displays jumbo sized points, and I cannot figure out why or what to change. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Javascript

printTask = new esri.tasks.PrintTask(printUrl, { //new instance of print job                     async: false //our service is set to syncronous                 });                 params = new esri.tasks.PrintParameters(); //placeholder for our parameters to put in the script                 params.map = map; //reference to the active map object                 function print(){ //action to run when submit is clicked                     dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "none");                                          document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = " Converting to PDF <img src='loader.gif'>";                                          var title = dijit.byId("title").get("value") //parameter[2]                                          var subtitle = dijit.byId("subtitle").get("value") //parameter[3]                                          var agent = dijit.byId("agent").get("value") //parameter[4]                                          var legendLayer = new esri.tasks.LegendLayer();                                                               params.template = {                         layout: mxdTemplate,                         format: 'PDF',                         preserveScale: false,                         layoutOptions: {                             legendLayers: []                         }                     };                      params.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference                                          params.extraParameters = {                         Title: title,                         Subtitle: subtitle,                         Agent: agent                     }; //the custom parameters for the python script                     printTask.execute(params, printComplete, printError); //run the task, completion triggers 'printComplete' function, any error triggers printError                 }                                  function printComplete(result){                     dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "block");                     console.log(result.url);                     document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = "<a href='" + result.url + "' target='_blank'><b>Download PDF<b></a>" //link to the PDF                 }                                  function printError(error){                     dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "block");                     document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = "An unexpected Error has occured <br>( " + error + " )<br> try saving again" //error warning popup                 }

Python GP service
