I have exactly the same problem here with an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn (Postscript PPD, see enclosed hp4.ppd file). When printing from evince as available in up-to-date karmic, it prints an error page :

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: 0a
STACK: false, --mark-- ,

I tried this workaround : use epdfview. Epdfview is nice, it prints without problem on the same printer, but I can't access all the printer options with epdfview (for example, I can't access the recto/verso printer option from epdfview). Of course, we can use xpdf, but there is no graphical selection of the printer in the interface, which is quite annoying for our users, because we have multiple printers.
