Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cupsys

http://www.berlin.de/landesverwaltungsamt/download/beihilfe/online/lvwa_vb_1_online.pdf
has a PDF that needs to be filled out with Acrobat Reader.
Now here's the catch:

1) if I download the PDF and print it directly (via "lpr 
lvwa_vb_1_online.pdf"), then it prints OK
2) Once I use it the intended way (open Acrobat Reader 7.x or 8.x), fill in 
some data, and then click on print -- it won't print.

I bumped up the loglevel in cups, just to find an odd error:

The odd thing is that once I print to a file in acrobat and then run the
renderer command above, I get:

grep the command from the log:
D [23/Sep/2007:13:44:43 +0200] [Job 44] renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH

run the command: # gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD"
-sDeviceModel="deskjet 6122" -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595

-dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=- /tmp/print.ps > out

Check exit status
# echo $?
0

WTF is going on? No errors! Somewhere between CUPS and the renderer
command something must be changing the raw PS data.

A way to print the file is to SAVE the filled-out form as PDF and then
use kpdf to print it.
