Public bug reported:
I know it's dumb, but I see this issue occurring from time to time,
mostly because PDF readers remember print settings and people don't
notice when printing one-page documents that they have "Print only even
pages" option set.
How to reproduce:
lp -o page-set=even -o Duplex=None -o pdftops-renderer=pdftops
./one-page-document.pdf
Basically, if you're printing a one-page document, and your pdftops
renderer is eiher pdftops or pdftocairo, printing will fail because
page-set=even means you need to print page #2, and you only have one
page.

I'd suggest to ignore "page-set=even" option if the document has just
one page.
