As for me, the pdf I want to print was generated with latex. It contains only text. And it takes years to get printed on my Ricoh Afficio MP C2050.

Preparation of the print job in evince itself is fast (i.e. the progress bar only appears for a few seconds), but the print job just sits for a very long time in the print queue with a message that the printer is spooling. During this time the status message on the printer itself is "busy". The printer is a lexmark C530. When I print the same document through xpdf, which uses lpr, the pdf file is printed almost immediately. I only have this printing problem with evince, all other applications print normally.
