Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

An older version of evince (Dapper's 0.5.2-0ubuntu3.2) was able to print this PDF file (two letter-sized pages, with a form-like design, large PAID watermark which was not being printed).

Gutsy's version of evince (2.20.1-0ubuntu1) fails to print it to a ML-1740 laser printer, or to a Postscript file. Cups reports "Job stopped due to filter errors".

Xpdf (3.02-1.2ubuntu1.1) is able to print the file, including the watermark.

Although this file looks like a form, it's already been filled. (It's not a pdf form with fields).

Page size is Letter.

Print preview shows blank file, so if PS rendering is blank, there will be no printout with any printer.

Triaged to Confirmed.
