Please see the first output below: contrast_level1 contrast_level2).

They are probably factor columns.

Presumably that call will produce desired results since it is on only one column. (I'm not sure why you think format.pval contributed to your NA output.)

Why not use `cbind.data.frame` rather than trying to get `printCoefmat` to do something it (apparently) wasn't designed to do?
cbind( y0410_1825_mf_alc[ 1:2],
printCoefmat(y0410_1825_mf_alc[ -(1:2) ], has.Pvalue=TRUE, eps.Pvalue=0.0001)
)
