I'm on 15.04 and I'm still having this issue. Any workaround?

Title:
  "Print to file" PDF metadata broken

Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 64bit

  libgnomeprint2.2-0 - 2.18.8-0ubuntu1

  It seems libgnomeprint sends wrong date, Jan 1st 1970 to PDF metadata when printing to file (PDF)
  This behaviour is reproducible for me on both 64bit and 32bit versions of 11.04
   
  Using dialog "print to file" choosing PDF as output format "Creation Date" and "Last edited" is always set to  "Thu 01 Jän 1970 00:59:59 CET" which is afaik Date 0 for Unices.
  I am using german localization but in case of needed screenshots I can of course change to english.
  This behaviour happens on my main machine (64bit) and my old notebook (32bit) looking to my self produced PDFs from 10.10 definitely show the same behaviour, I could also look on old backups for even older version.
