Problem is not the fact that your printer is shared from a Windows box,
the real problem is a Ghostscript problem./ Ghostscript is not able to
render your file, both the original and spooled files.
Running
gs printout_original.pdf
or
gs printout.pdf
in a terminal window shortly pops up a window in which parts of the page
appear and then errors out like this

This happens also when Ghostscript is used to raster your print job as
one can see in your error_log.

A few days ago, printing on a shared HP printer which is connected to a
machine running Windows XP worked fine, but today it failed. I think it
has to do with some recent CUPS / hplip updates. I don't know for sure,
though.
=> INFORMATION: The printer in question is "mezgrPrinter", the other
printers are somewhere else and I can not test them right now. <=

What I expected to happen:
The document I wanted to print is being printed on the printer connected to
the Windows machine.
What happened instead:
The printing software on the Windows machine started up, just like it does
when a printer job is being received, but instead of printing, the printer did
nothing. On my Ubuntu notebook, I saw an error dialog.
