I can also reproduce when printing a specific PDF on karmic. Other PDFs seem to work fine.

I have this problem since updating to Lucid. My printer is a Canon iP4000. Previously printing worked fine.

Installing ghostscript from -proposed (8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1) solved the bug for me, the crash did not happen again. Thanks.
