Thank you for all the testing. It looks like that Poppler has a bug on
PDF-to-PostScript conversion.

Sending a Ghostscript-generated PDF (ps2pdf13) to CUPS produces the
problem, as CUPS converts the PDF to PostScript with its pdftops filter,
which is Poppler-based. Also the OOo generated PDF fails when converted
to PS via Poppler (evince is Poppler-based). The problem does not occur
when not using Poppler (acroread).

In Intrepid, with the new PDF-based printing workflow, all jobs get
converted to PDF (if not directly sent in PDF format by the app) to pass
them through the pdftopdf filter to do the page management (N-up,
reverse order, selected pages, manual duplex, ...). After that they have
to get converted into the native language of the printer. For PostScript
printers this job is done by the cpdftocps CUPS filter. This filter
calls CUPS' pdftops filter, so the conversion is done with Poppler.

I will post a GhostScript based replacement for CUPS' pdftops filter for
testing soon.
