Bug Description
Ubuntu 18.10 latest update (by 2.11.2018)
printing PDF documents that contain embedded images, these images get printed nearly black and completely illegible.
I have attached a sample file and a printout of my cups pdf writer (which produces the exact same results as the printer)

How did you print the file? Did you print it out of a PDF viewer? Which one? Could you try another PDF viewer or direct printing from the command line?
In the PDF viewer with which you obtain the problem, does the print preview already show the problem?
How did you obtain the file which you have attached to comment #2?
