Error "SpliX Cannot read pixel line" when printing 2 pages per side from evince

[Raoul Bhatia]

I used to be able to print 2 pages per side on my Samsung SCX4216f.

i *think* that since upgrading to the most recent printing related packages from oneiric-proposed (cups 1.5.0-8ubuntu6, ghostscript 9.04~dfsg-0ubuntu11.4, etc.) printing 2 pages per side stopped working.

1. printing the "Test Page" from the printer configuration dialog works (see logs). however, the test page is only 1/4th (or so) of the size it should be (sticking in the top, left corner). (Jobs 177, 181)
2. printing a regular text document from gedit works. (Job 180)
3. printing the same pdf with "1 page per side" from evince works. (Job 182)
4. printing 2 pages with "2 pages per side" from firefox works. (Job 183)

However, printing 2 pages per side from evince did not work (Job 178 or 179, i'm not completely sure).

Please find the corresponding logs attached.
