evince window, displaying the first page of the PDF document

Description of problem:
In a particular PDF file, which is displayed correctly by evince, images are printed as a blue strip instead. The blue strip is visible also in the "print preview" window of the print dialog, so I guess this is not a problem of the printer driver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
poppler-0.18.4-3.fc17.x86_64
evince-3.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64
cups-1.5.2-12.fc17.x86_64
(the rest of the system is fully updated F17 as of today)

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the following file: http://www.deskove-hry.eu/files/lovci-pokladu/lovci-pokladu.pdf
2. print it from evince (possibly displaying the print preview first)
  
Actual results:
The images near the bottom of the first page are missing, and there is a blue strip instead.

Expected results:
The images should be printed correctly.


Additional info:
I will attach a screenshot of the evince window (with correctly displayed images) and a print preview window. The printer output matches the preview.

FWIW, my printer is HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP.

I have found that downloading the PDF file in question, running it through pdftops, and then back to PDF using ps2pdf14 produces the file which can be correctly printed by evince.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 01:02:42 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2013-07-04 09:44:07 UTC
I have re-tested with Fedora 18 (evince-3.6.1-2.fc18.x86_64, poppler-0.20.2-15.fc18.x86_64, cups-1.5.4-20.fc18.x86_64), and it prints the document correctly now.
