Description of problem: Received a document originating from DocuSign and am unable to print it. What doesn't help is that various PDF tools react differently... In particular, okular & xpdf display correctly; but print [mostly] blank pages. pdfinfo reports this about the file (no errors): CreationDate: Sat Sep 12 10:06:36 2015 ModDate: Sat Sep 12 10:06:36 2015 Tagged: no UserProperties: no Suspects: no Form: none JavaScript: no Pages: 2 Encrypted: no Page size: 604 x 792 pts Page rot: 0 File size: 1863239 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.6 https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx reports: Compliance pdf1.6 Result Document validated successfully.

I can email pdf file privately --can only compress it down to 1674597 which is too big to attach to this bug report.
I think the simplest way conceptually to have files like this print correctly is to have a printer queue set up to send PDF and a printer that understands PDF 1.6 natively. I think queues are supposed to be created as PDF now, but I'm not sure if it's sending the PDF directly to the printer or doing some filtering on it. It probably depends on how you configure the print queue.
I have a PDF print queue, and printing to that "device" which prints to a file; or using "Print to file (PDF)" in the Print dialog produce blank pages. Our printers are HP8600 N911g (see http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600-e-All-in-One-Printer-series---N9/4322915/model/4323647/product-info and http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600-e-All-in-One-Printer-series---N9/4322915/model/4323647/document/c02858465/) which are PCL3. It's the first time in years I've been unable to print a PDF file. May I send you the file?
The attachment size limit has been raised, so you can now attach the PDF if you can legally share it.
(File size limit: 1000 KB) is not enough...
I thought we had raised it to 5000 KB a few days ago. Maybe the change hasn't be deployed yet.
Just tried... still 1000KB
