Hi,

I have had a look at this file. 

It prints fine from KPDF from 3.4.3 and Acrobat 5.0.5 under windows.

When I print from acroreader 7 linux, the very latest Ghostscript 8.53 
is choking on the generated PS from it. I have not tested on Acro 
reader 7.05 on windows. This not the first time I have seen this kind 
of error from Acro 7 however when printing to an inkjet printer which 
uses CUPS and pstoraster to convert the PS for the inkjet printer.

I doubt it is anything in the PDF itself. 

Acro reader 4.05 is horribly broken on Linux 5.0.10 has some bugs but 
printing is not one of them.

Hope that helps,
Peter
