problem printing AMSTEX short-math-guide.pdf

[Mark Hittinger <bugs hlt utdallas edu>]

There appears to be a problem printing the following file with evince:

ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/short-math-guide.pdf

We experience this problem under FC6 with evince 0.6.0/poppler 0.5.4 and 
under a very recent unbuntu with evince 2.22.1/poppler 0.6.4.

Some printers simply crash when this file is printed.  Other printers such
as the HP 4350 refuse to print the file and complain of a memory issue.

Printing the file with Linux Acroread 8.1.1 succeeds.

When we print the document to a file we get this:

-rw-r--r--  1 fc6 fc6 1016648 Apr 17 11:52 output-vince.ps
-rw-------  1 fc6 fc6 5144615 Apr 17 11:57 output-acroread.ps
-rw-------  1 fc6 fc6 1423549 Apr 17 11:59 output-acro-mem.ps
-rw-r--r--  1 fc6 fc6 1727403 Apr 17 13:10 short-math-guide.org.ps

The acroread file "not optimized for memory" is 5MB, the "optimized for
memory file" is 1.4MB.  The evince output is only 1MB.  I suspect that
something has been left out of the evince output - just a guess!

On one of the printers (Oce 3165) the printer reports the evince output as
a 0 length file before its fatal attempt to print it.
