This patch [1] breaks PostScript printing with pdftocairo to Ricoh
printers: only the last line of the sequence is printed.

For example, if you have this in your .ps file, 
(aaa)
(bbb)
(cc)
only "cc" will appear on the page. 

PostScript viewers also fail to parse it: neither GhostScript nor Evince
are able display these lines.

Please revert or fix the patch?

I've reverted the problematic patch in trunk.

I'm hopeful that a better fix can be found for the original issue, and
am CCing Adrian.

This (or a better fix) is a candidate for 1.14.2

Please attach a pdf for reproducing the problem and your ps output. It
works fine for me with ghostscript 9.06.

Please try the attached patch.

I'm sure we can find a better fix since reverting it breaks printing on
my printer. I'll work on analyzing this problem but don't expect an
immediate response. I've been sleeping for the last 8 hours.

Here is a resulting file with broken lines.

I tested the suggested patch. Looks like it makes one long line (aaabbbcccc) instead of 
(aaa)
(bbb)
(cccc)

This works with my Evince, GS, and my printers, though I'm not sure what
is the limit of length for such a line.

Title:
  Evince when printing a pdf creates strange gapping.

Status in Cairo Graphics Library:
  Fix Released
Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When trying to print a pdf file with Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3 in Ubuntu 10.04 it creates strange gapping that seems to be due to Courier font. 
  These gaps show up when I print this file to pdf. Example file is attached.
  They do not show when I print to pdf from within Acrobat Reader.
  I never had this problem before, but I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04, and I can't recall which version
  of Evince I was using before.
