(Get the code!)
My box is now at 10.10 (Maverick) and the issue is still there (Lexmark T644).
The issue affects printing from many apps. Can't print directly from OpenOffice, can't print from evince, can't print from gimp. The only way I've found to get printouts from this box is printing first to a file (.pdf) and then sending the printjob to the printer from Adobe Acrobat.
At home, using an HP Photosmart printer I don't see this issue, either in Lucid or in Maverick. Don't know if this is of any help, but probably is, as this is giving a hint about what the problem might be: what page rendering language is being sent to the printer? Postscript? PCL? Who is responsible for generating this output? gs? cups?
Maybe there's a bug already reported for one of these subsystems? I can help trying to debug with some guidance.
But it's really a shame that a commercial product (Acrobat) is able to send correct Postscript/PCL, or whatever it is, to the printer, and that this bug is still new, unassigned, and marked as low priority after 6 months.
It's not only me that's having this problem ... other users have already reported similar issues:
