[Bug 461494] Re: A print job sent to the PDF printer by Adobe Reader stucks at the "Processing" state

I'm having the same problem.  I have a Brother HL-4040CN color laser.  I
can print only very simple PDFs; anything with multiple photos and any
level of complex formatting, even a page with 4 or 5 photos on it, and
the job just sits in "Processing" forever.  I tried printing a single
page PDF last night, and I left it until morning, 8 hours later, it
hadn't moved.  It seems to send something to the printer as the Data
light is flashing, and the printer won't take jobs from any other
machine, but it never prints.

>From other apps, I can print just fine, including pages with complex
vector graphics with hundreds of lines and points.

I have tried from both the default Ubuntu document viewer and in
desperation I installed Adobe Reader, same results with both.

Finally I just installed print drivers and Adobe Reader in a copy of
Windows XP running under VirtualBox and the same PDF prints in about 10
seconds.  I don't like this solution though; if I have to keep Windows
around, I might as well be running Windows.
