OK. For the heck of it I downloaded 3 forms from http://www.ssa.gov/online/

ssa-546.pdf
ssa-3441.pdf
ssa-7008.pdf

and all print out just fine from Evince, Adobe Reader 8.1.1, and xpdf.
That includes printing to a USB & networked Canon MP75 *and* to a
virtual cups-pdf printer.

So what seems to be the problem on your side? BTW: None of the forms
that I found on that site so far are user fillable from a pdf client.
Apparently SSA like to employ workers to decipher handwriting from the
forms.
