just recently, i'm having regular trouble printing PDF files thru "evince", with evince complaining as above. i used to be able to throw a 200-page PDF file at the printer but now, i have to do it in 8 and 16 page chunks at a time. and sometimes, even *that* doesn't work.
is anyone else seeing this?

just to add a bit more detail, i have a brother double-sided printer, and i wanted to print a 182-page PDF file, double-sided and 4 images per page.
my first attempt to print the whole thing at once failed as above. i reduced the page sets until i was printing only 8 pages at a time (which would fit on a single sheet of paper). that strikes me as unnecessarily inconvenient, and i'm pretty sure i used to be able to print sizable documents in one fell swoop.
could it be the printer/printer driver combo?

Just a thought - you say '4 images per page'. Have you checked the size of those images? A page with 4 images on, if they are fairly large, would take a long time to process before printing, and may be causing time-outs. While I would expect to be able to send a large document in one go, I'd be doubtful if it contained so much processing requirement. HTH

i do, brother 5250 dn.
otoh, since k3b was no longer working on gnome, i switched to kde, and kde's evince equivalent works without any issue (except maybe the scrambled graphics, but i don't remember if it was evince or okular in charge). still f10, here, but not for long. i'll report more after i'll switch to f11 .

whoops, sorry, mine is a samsung scx4826-fn -- the brother was my previous printer.

I've seen this occasionally too. As far as I can tell it is either an Evince problem or a GTK+ problem, as printing the same document from the command line always creates a job successfully.
