Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
Since upgrading to lucid 10.04 printing pdfs or postscript files via a printer routinely fails, whether through an application or a command line. There is no error message in cups error_log or on the command line. Printing pdfs or ps to a file works fine. Printing to a printer using ppm files works fine. Here's a link to the message thread on ubuntu forums:

And another on the Redhat bugzilla that seems to describe the same bug:
