[Till Kamppeter <419143@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

svenmeier, the original bug reported here was that Poppler's pdftops is
generating broken PostScript in your case foomatic-rip calls Ghostscript
to turn PDF into PostScript. So I tried to isolate the problem with

pdf2ps printout

where pdf2ps is a simple wrapper script which comes with Ghostscript to
turn PDF into PostScript and printout is your "printout" file. The
resulting PostScript is broken, easy to see with

gs printout.ps

This is a bug in Ghostscript upstream which I have reported now as

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692679

Please subscribe to that bug report and supply additional information if
the Ghostscript develkopers ask for it.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  When trying to print on an HP Laserjet 4100 (through network, no
  possibility to connect to USB) in karmic, A notification tells me that
  printing succeeded, but regarding of the document to be printed, only
  one page gets printed with the following error message (6 lines):

  
  ERROR: undefined
  OFFENDING COMMAND: 0a

  STACK:

  -mark-

  
  Other printers on the same network (e.g. OKI C7350) work flawlessly, also the same printer worked on intrepid and jaunty.

  WORKAROUND 1:
  Print from okular (KDE PDF viewer) or any other (non-gtk?) software.

  WORKAROUND 2:
  Use the fixed cairo packages from this PPA:
