Thanks to everyone who helped here! It seems to work now, with any kind of
pdf version (1.3, 1.4, 1.5) and /without/ any fonts embedded or with fonts
/outlined/. So I suppose "my" Arial (ttf on linux) was not compatible with
the printer's idea of what Arial should be.

Have a good evening!
Christoph
