I have a similar problem. When printing the PDF from evince the output is garbage (like: the left half of the print is printed twice, the right half is not there at all). When printing the smae file using acrobat reader everything is fine. Evince displays the file correctly. I'll attach the file.

update to comment #2: It's a bother HL2030 actually and it seems to be every PDF not just the one I linked. This is some kind of regression, because printing used to work fine for a very long time...

With regards to iroli's comments...

With a fully update 10.10, I do a print to file of the the PDF given (krimitotal_der_verfluchte...) If I print it to file as a PDF or PostScript file, it seems OK. If I print it to file as an SVG, I get the types of errors mentioned. It also seems to be the same of other PDFs as well.

It displays and prints the same for me, is this how it should look? (See attached screenshot.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
