Comment 11 for bug 419143

Looks that this is a bug in HP's PostScript interpreters. I have tried to print the file XAFSPhoton_estimate.pdf (attached to comment #4) and it does not print on my HP LaserJet 3390 if I use any PostScript PPD file (tried the onr for the LaserJet 4100 and for the LaserJet 3390). Only way to get it printed is setting up a PCL-based print queue ("pxlmono" driver) or not using evince.

Looking into the generated PostScript file it seems that the HP printers are not able to parse the embedded fonts. The offending 0a is in the beginning of the second binary code line of
