Package: evince
Version: 2.26.1-2
Severity: normal


Evince is failing to print some documents that take some time to process, like large
scanned pdf document.

I attached the pdf file in question and a screenshot of the evince error.

The bug if very annoying since printing does work with the commandline, the bellow 
works fine, it takes a while but it does work:

lpoptions -p "HP_Color_LaserJet_8500" -l
input="/home/jelle/wob/delft/2009-04-21 - Gemeente Delft - Antwoord op de WOB.pdf"
lpoptions -p "HP_Color_LaserJet_8500" -o PageSize=A4 -o PrintoutMode=Normal -o InputSlot=Upper -o PageRegion=A4 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o Quality=FromPrintoutMode
lpr -P "HP_Color_LaserJet_8500" -#1 -o Collate=True -o media=A4 -o outputorder=normal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge "$input"

Thanks in advance,

Jelle de Jong
