Description Ralph Loader 2007-10-15 06:46:26 UTC 
The pdf from 

http://www.jaycar.co.nz/images_uploaded/MJE2955T.PDF

fails to print.

Attempting to print chews around 40 seconds of CPU (1GHz P3), and then sends something to the printer.  The print job seems to hang the printer; it has been "processing data" for around 10 minutes without producing any output.

evince-2.20.0-3.fc8
poppler-0.6-2.fc8

The printer is an HP 4000NP.

[Doing a "print to file" and then viewing with ghostscript produces the output file quickly and views OK with ghostscript.  So it appears to be somewhat printer specific.]

I believe you are encountering the same bug as I am.

Comment 2 Serge Gavrilov 2007-12-08 12:47:15 UTC 
I have the same problem with evince 2.20.2 and poppler 0.6.2. My printer is HP2605 (color postscript printer). I cannot print many of my pdfs (especially 2 or more pages per sheet).

Downgrading to evince 0.9 and poppler 0.5.4 solves the problem.
Comment 3 Emmanuel Fleury 2009-08-05 12:15:47 UTC 
Is the problem still here with new version of evince, poppler and update of the HP printer drivers ?

This document now prints fine.
