Comment 13 for bug 172264

Hi.

I hate to be a noob cluttering up the bug space, but I'm hoping that someone can help--I'm at my wit's end...please please! I need to print these files to complete my immigration application!

A few weeks ago, the attached PDF and others like it printed fine in acroread. Today, I find that they don't. I don't know the reason for the change. I think this document is encrypted in some way because it doesn't allow me to save it.

I go through all the printing dialogues and the file shows up in the print queue, but then it stops. The printer never warms up.

I have tried (in order):
* xpdf - can print, can't fill forms
* evince - can print, filled forms print garbled
* updated acroread from 7.x to 8.1.1
* re-installied samsung unified driver
* downgraded cups from 7.1 to 7
* download/compile/install ghostscript 8.61
* upgraded cups from 7 to 7.1

In all cases, my system still works just fine. Printing works fine from:
gedit
openoffice
acroread (with other documents)

My cups error_log:
