"Lots of embedded graphics are now not printed in printed PDF documents,
they just appear as a white space on paper. This never happened for me
in Jaunty, so this looks like a regression in one of the PDF filters?
I attach an example document which reproduces the issue. The graphics
below "Skizze" is not printed at all, if you open the document in evince
and just print it.
However, if I do "pdf2ps Aufgabe01.pdf" and open/print Aufgabe01.ps with
evince, it works.
Unfortunately, trying to convert it back with pstopdf, the resulting PDF
doesn't print at all and just causes the print job to stay in the queue
forever.
It happens with my Samsung ML-1610 with the SpliX 2.0 driver.
Reproduction recipe without a printer:
- Open reproducing document with evince
- Print into a PDF file
- gs output.pdf"

Those pdf are also crashing printers apparently,

in the ubungu bug
"
The PDF output of evince seems to be broken:
The original file Aufgabe01.pdf I can send directly ("nc -w1 <IP> 9100 <
<file>") )to two PDF printers (HP LaserJet P3005, HP Color LaserJet
CM3530 MFP) and it comes out very quickly. If I print into a PDF file
from evince and then send the resulting output.pdf to the same two
printers it takes several minutes until both report that they do not
have enough memory for the job.
Also Ghostscript (both versions 8.64 and 8.70) is able do display
Aufgabe01.pdf but not output.pdf. Example Ghostscript output for
output.pdf:

Ḿany printer drivers use Ghostscript directly taking PDF, so most
printers will probably not print this job at all.
Printing both files directly to CUPS with "lpr" and on the HP Color
LaserJet CM3530 MFP (the manufacturer PPD makes CUPS using it in
PostScript mode) gets correct printouts with Aufgabe01.pdf, both on
print queues set up on the local Karmic and on the remote Jaunty box.
output.pdf comes out without the drawing through the queue on the remote
Jaunty box and correctly through a local queue on the Karmic machine.
On Karmic there is no working "cupsfilter" utility unfortunately, it
segfaults already before starting the first filters. Seems that upstream
has added new functionality without testing it."
