I am unable to test this.  For printing, I have to specify a different
user name (in .cups/client.conf), and as that is only supported by 'lp',
not evince or xpdf (I think), I can no longer print directly from
applications.

Title:
  Evince fails to print this PDF

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  I'm trying to print this file, and evince has failed on the two
  printers (different makes) that I have available.  It is possible the
  problem is elsewhere, since evince manages to generate a postscript
  file, however, the resulting postscirpt does not print (with lpr)
  either.

  Evince hangs after printing page 1 for a long time, so I guess it's
  the image on page 2 that causes the problem.  The print jobs are
  reported to be 38MB (and the generated postscript is 167MB), so
  perhaps it's just the size that's too large?  Still thought I'd report
  it, these sizes shouldn't be insurmountable in this day and age.
