I just tried to print it on a Nashuatec printer and it works. On the
other hand, I'm not too surprised that there are problems with the
shading implementation of some, especially older drivers.
Anyway, what I would try is to let PyX generate an EPS file and then
check whether that works. If yes, fine, convert the file into a PDF and
keep fingers crossed. If not, try to use eps2eps and continue. I know
that's a mess but in urgent cases, I always do something along these
lines.
In the specific case, you could also try to plot the surface first, i.e.
before the rest of the graph. Just call the dodata() method of the graph
after the plot() call. See
http://pyx.sourceforge.net/gallery/graphs/mandel.html
for an example. I am optimistic that this fixes the problem...
HTH,
Jörg
