  Askubuntu user sdaau reports the following [1]:

  "This is my problem:

      Open a document in Evince, choose Print
      Choose "Printer": "Print to file"
      Choose "Output Format": "PDF"
      (add a filename output.pdf in the box if not there)
      Click on "Print"
      Experience the following message:

  < Failed to print document.
  < Printing is not supported on this printer.

  By the way, printing to an "Output Format" .ps file works fine. "

  I can reproduce this bug trying to print a PS file to PDF.
