As manager of the sheet music archive referenced in this bug report I've asked the contributor to provide an alternative version of the file giving rise to the report. I've renamed the file in question to http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/banchieri/BanchieriI-Recorders-Score-unembedded.pdf. The file now present as http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/banchieri/BanchieriI-Recorders-Score.pdf has all fonts embedded. As I expected Evince prints the new pdf file with no problems. On the background of this experience I'd expect Evince to (try to) print a file with unembedded fonts replacing with alternative fonts. I guess that's the strategy of Adobe Reader. If Evince for some reason can't complete the printing then it should explain that to the user through a reasonable error message.
