Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04.1
evince version 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.1

If a PDF contains an image with a transparent background, evince prints the transparent parts of
that image as black.

I attach a test case, generated by doodling in the gimp, exporting as PNG, and then
convert test.png test.pdf

Printing test.pdf from evince will show a black background to the image.
Printing test.pdf from okular or xpdf produces a page with a white (paper) background.

** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
