[Hardy] Strange printout of PDF documents

[Michael B. Trausch]

Binary package hint: evince

Apologies for this bug description being a bit vague, but I am at a loss for words to accurately describe it.

When I attempt to print PDF documents that are typeset by XeTeX, and forms from the Internal Revenue Service ( http://www.irs.gov ), I get a very strange “stair stepping” sort of effect that is the printed output.

I can print these documents just fine by using CUPS at the command line (e.g., lp document.pdf and lpr document.pdf work just fine for each of these affected documents, but printing them using Evince is impossible to do).

Attachments showcasing this behavior coming shortly. One document that does this http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8832.pdf (the output of which I will attach here momentarily). The problem also occurs when attempting to print the output to a PostScript file (e.g., if one wanted to fill out one of these tax forms, and then print it to a file to save the completed form, and then print the hard copy out so that it could be mailed back, which is, among other things, what I was trying to do).

Additional attachments coming momentarily.

there is no need to write hardy in the title, it forces to rename all the bugs when hardy+1 will open and the information can go to the description anyway
