When I the ACM paper I uploaded, I get an error page from my printer saying

    ERROR NAME:
        undefined
    COMMAND:
       Q
    OPERAND STACK;

Other papers crash the printer. Without printing anything, the printer
reboots.

I can print the same files using xpdf and lpr with no problems.
However, I'd prefer to use evince, given the interface for changing
options in lpr is rather baroque.

I'm printing over the network. My print job gets routed through a
network cups server (running Debian lenny), which then communicates with
the printer over IPP. It's a pretty standard configuration that worked
flawlessly in 8.10 and 9.04.
