I don't generally use Evince because its print dialog box offers
practically no options. However, just now I tried it. It did open the
203 MB file reasonably quickly. I told it to print pages 101 and 102,
and that took it only three minutes. But at the end it popped up a
message "Failed to Print Document: Too many failed attempts." (There
are no jobs in the print queue.)

That kind of behavior is typical of Evince. And if I ever do get it to
print something it cuts off the bottom of the page, or prints landscape
when the document is portrait, or some other mess. It's fine for
viewing a PDF on screen but printing is unreliable.
