[Bug 1415009] [NEW] text missing when printing some pdf documents

 

Public bug reported:

When printing a pdf to a Samsung M2835dw with either the Samsung M262x 282x Series PXL driver, or the Samsung M262x 282x Foomatic/pxlmono driver from evince areas of the text are not printed.
Printing to the  Samsung M262x 282x Foomatic/lj5gray driver works correctly.
Printing the same document from xpdf works correctly. However saving the pdf produced by evince and then printing that with xpdf also fails.

I suspect that the issue is a ghostscript issue but the recommendation
was to report printing problems as a cups issue first.

Attached is a document saved by evince that when sent directly to the
driver reproduces the problem. When printed the Invoice address, the
delivery address and all pricing information is hidden.
