Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-02-02 11:28:43 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/78369

"Binary package hint: evince

evince cannot print the following PDF:

http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/DirectDebit/Direct%20Debit%20form%2007.pdf

It does print properly using GNOME PDF Viewer and Adobe Acrobat.

No output on the console, but this appears in /var/log/syslog:

Jan 7 22:39:18 localhost hpiod: unable to write data hp:/usb/DeskJet_895C?serial=MX92C1W0N7FB: Resource temporarily unavailable io/hpiod/channel.cpp 63
Jan 7 22:39:18 localhost DeskJet_895C?serial=MX92C1W0N7FB: INFO: check device; will retry in 30 seconds...

The printer then halts, and I have to power cycle it to get the paper out. The output consists of a few centimetres of barely recognizable garbage.

On my HP Photosmart 8150 the results are similar, but the printer never actually prints anything... it just seems to hang.

The problem is that ps file generated from pdf which is sent to the printer is wrong. pdftops generates an invalid ps file, so it's a poppler bug. Please file a bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
