Not sure if this will help, but... I have the same symptom. I tried to print from acroread and nothing happened. I ended up shutting down after that.
The next time I booted the system I discovered that I was unable to print from any application, and my cpu was pinned. I noticed that the process sucking most of the cpu was "gs". After killing gs the cpu went to normal and printing resumed. Hope that's a hint.
