Bug Description
Since an update to Precise on or about April 6th, 2012, most PDF's printed from evince print with bad quality, pixellated fonts. Some embedded graphics are also affected, although I haven't been able to determine a pattern in which ones. PDF's print fine from acroread and Okular. I've checked all my print settings in evince and everything looks correct.

Since posting the bug I have started getting the same problem when printing from Firefox and Openoffice, so it's clearly not a problem with evince. It is, however, a big problem here on my Dell Latitude D620 to not be able to print reliably. The printer I'm using is a Brother MFC-J615W with Brother's drivers installed and previously working fine. Really need a fix or workaround as I depend on this computer.
