Package: xpdf-reader Version: 3.02-1.3 Severity: important I have found that with the latest version(s) of xpdf, many files are unprintable. It seems that the common factor of files that won't print are that they have images. Setting CUPS to debug level, I notice the following in the log:

According to an article from Adobe I found online, http://www.adobe.com/products/adobemag/archive/pdfs/9511htlp.pdf The message "unregistered" indicates bad postscript. I tried Acrobat reader, and it works, and per this bug report I tried pdf2ps as well, and it also works. If you want an example file that fails to print in xpdf, try the Adobe article itself. I am filing this with the existing report because it sounds like the same problem even though the circumstances are slightly different. However, I have only noticed this problem in the last few months and this bug report dates from more than two years ago. Thank you.
