Binary package hint: evince

I've recently upgraded my Ubuntu system to Lucid Lynx and now I can't print from evince.

Symptoms: even simple files (see attached PDF) won't print. The same files (or even more complex PDF files containing embedded fonts and graphics as produced by LaTeX) can be printed without issues on the same box using acroread. So everything says to me that CUPS (or whatever printing subsystem is being used) works fine.

Printer is a Lexmark T644 available on the network.

When in evince, the print dialog opens, and I can send the files to the printer apparently without problems. The print queue shows a printing job being sent to the printer, and the printer itsef starts heating the drums, rolling the brushes, etc but then nothing comes out.

Maybe the spooled file produced by evince crashes the printer's PCL/PostScript interpreter?
