The printed pdf file is not standard conform [1].
The information dictionary of the document is a direct object, not an indirect reference as in the pdf that works.
So this is mainly a bug in the used pdf generator, not in pdftk. However, pdftk should produce a more user-friendly error message.
Can you provide the version of the cups / cups-pdf package which you have installed, please?
pdftk uses the itext library and a mail on its mailing list gave me the right hint: thread. gmane.org/ gmane.comp. java.lib. itext.general/ 46855/focus= 46859
