I had this problem (or a very similar one). It was due to evince being
unable to connect to the cups server (connection refused). This was
apparent when I ran evince under strace.

The problem it seemed was due to an error in my hostname aliasing in the
networking configs. Initially, for some reason, I had my hostname
pointing at 127.0.1.1 and no alias at all for localhost. I *think* the
problem was caused when I changed localhost to 127.0.0.1.

The problem was solved by changing both my hostname and localhost to be
aliases for 127.0.0.1 and restarting.

I wonder if evince attempts to access cups with a different server
string to most programs.
