Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

After upgrading to karmic-koala, I cannot print any PDFs from evince.

Printing appears to proceed properly (there is no error message shown),
but the job gets stuck in the printer queue forever with status changed
to "Held".

The cups error log is attached; it shows that apparently CUPS (or the
printer) doesn't understand PDF. This used to work before the upgrade.
(Shouldn't there be some conversion to PS going on behind the scenes?)

There is not much special about the CUPS setup. The only thing I did was
to enable "Show printers shared by other systems" via
"System/Administration/Printing/Server/Settings...", which found the
printers automatically.

A colleague of mine has the same problem after upgrading to karmic. He
reports that for him, printing PDFs from Acrobat Reader does work (but
not from evince).
