This bug has been opened here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20927 "trying to print some PDF files from evince fails - it seems to garble the print job. only one page is printed instead of 11, and only some text (which seems to be formatted in a different font).

Hi, how can I confirm this bug on 0.5.X too ? I've got a PDF which produces exactly this error message and doesn't print on 0.4.x. The same PDF on 0.5.x doesn't produce the same error message, but doesn't print too... See the ubuntu bug for details and the faulty PDF file.
Thanks for confirmation
I am unable to print PDF files using evince 0.4.0 in Debian "testing". My printer is a HP LaserJet 5 with Postscript level 2 module, connected to the parallel port of an Pentium machine. The printing system is CUPS 1.2.1, on which the printer make/manufacturer is specified as "raw" and the printer model/driver is specified as "raw queue (en)". Evince displays PDF files perfectly, but when I attempt to print, the panel display on the printer reports "PROCESSING JOB" for 10 seconds or so (longer for a long document or for a complex page), then reports "DATA RECEIVED" for another few seconds, and finally reverts to "READY". This behaviour is exhibited on PDF files from numerous web sites.
It seems it's fixed now with GTK+ printing system. Feel free to reopen this bug if the problem persists for you.
