I have the same problem!
Can't print onany printer now, always get this error in cups error_log

[Anton Anikin (anton-anikin)]

It seems I have got this problem after last update of libpoppler5 and poppler-utils

[Anton Anikin (anton-anikin)]

I can confirm this now,
I have downgraded to libpoppler5_0.12.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb and problem gone.
I think this bug should be moved to the poppler package https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bugs?field.status:list=NEW

Demangled the missing function is GfxColorSpace::parse(Object*, Gfx*)

This seems to have been introduced by this patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2009-October/005198.html

[knarf (launchpad-ubuntu-f)]

This is not a bug in poppler. It is a bug in pdftopdf as bundled with cups. Currently cups can not be compiled with the latest libpoppler because the interface to iccColorSpaceCache (in libpoppler) has changed as can be seen in the patch linked to above.

Thank you for looking at the issue, there was no need to open a new bug though you could have reassigned this one to cups, closing the bug since that's not a poppler bug, upstream only enforce stable abi for the glib library not the base one...
