I saw this problem again on an ubuntu desktop machine.  Using the printers
tool I then created a second printer queue pointed at the same printer and
it works fine.  I did the same in edubuntu and got the same results.

So, for some reason the two printers below pasted from
/etc/cups/printers.conf are not the same for evince.  The DefaultPrinter is
printable, the other for some reason greys out the printer button.  I can't
currently see why.
