Description
I printed the attached PDF, generated by Google Chrome (a dev snapshot). It failed to print silently, sitting at 1st in the print queue despite nudging (apparently with "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops failed" on the web interface).
It would be nice if it screamed and shouted when conversion fails, and also, err, I converted this with the pdftops utility on Athena and then it printed just fine.

- Milestone set to Summer 2010 (Lucid Deploy)
Can we still reproduce this with the same PDF? If so, follow up with ops.

- Milestone changed from Summer 2010 (Lucid Deploy) to Fall 2010
Can someone please test this again, either with the same PDF or a different one? The servers were bumped to a new release of 1.4 recently.

Ops is also seriously looking into stopping doing PDF-to-PS conversion given that the HP 9050s accept PDFs and seem to behave much better with them, so this may hopefully become moot -- this ticket is another reason to avoid converting to PostScript? if we can.
