According to the attached error_log this time your print job got done
correctly. Ghostscript did not error out. If something is wrong on the
printout, you will probably need to install the backport of Ghostscript
9.04 (with all SRUs or current Precise version). This solves a lot of
rendering problems.

Title:
  PDF printing from Evince through CUPS is very slow, sometimes fails

Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When printing a PDF document from Evince using a CUPS defined printer,
  printing the document takes very long (up to 30 minutes). The
  ghostscript process runs at 100% CPUTIME.

  Here is the captures ghostscript command of one of the print test :

  gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono
  -r600x600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- /var/spool/cups/tmp/foomatic-
  AA6FvH

  This is the only evidence that ghostscript is responsible for the
  problem. Backporting the cups-1.4.5.3 would remove gs out of the
  equation, hopefully fixing the problem.

  Reproducible: 100%

  Workaround:

  Use the acroread PDF viewer which does not show this problem

  Request:

  PDF conversions using ghostscripts have been identified by previous
  bugs (LP#668800 ) and have been fixed in cups 1.4.5.3 by using poppler
  instead of ghostscript. We believe that a backport of the solution
  already present in Maverick/Natty to Lucid might solve the problem
