Acroread prints only first page of a range (recent change in behaviour)

[Bernard Moreton]

This problem has occurred before

https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg439365.html
proposed "In Adobe Reader 9:

    Choose File > Print.
    Click on Advanced.
    Under Font and Resource Policy, select Send for Each Page."
but this does not solve the problem, and the change is not persistent anyway.

This bug report (sorry, I know RedHat is different!)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008166
where the problem was traced to a cups filter
" .... I updated to cups-filters-1.0.41-4.fc20, and this fixed my acroread printing problem: ranges are now printed well."

which is why I report the bug against cups, not against Acroread - which of course is 3rd-party anyway. As I say, printing worked ok until recently. Evince prints the same documet ok on the same printer - but isn't so good on booklet printing.
