Cannot print to cups server from Adobe Acrobat Reader on connected Windows XP machines: stopped "May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)"

[Andrew Somerville]

We're using a CUPS print server running Ubuntu 10.04 in our lab with 11 Windows XP machines. None of the Windows XP machines can print any PDF file from Adobe Acrobat reader to the Lexmark E220 laser printer connected to the Ubuntu print server.

The CUPS error_log entries created by a windows machine attempting to print a PDF will be attached.

This bug seems very similar:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558463

Exact same symptoms, but with a different version of poppler. It may be related.

[Andrew Somerville (andy16666)]

This is fixed in 12.04, and possibly earlier.

This version has expired long times ago, and so will never get support
