NOTES:
1.  The "problem" file is a 2-page 66924-byte standard rebate text from newegg.
    The file _might_ be imperfect PDF but
2.  It prints without problems from AdobeReader (7.0.5) on Win XP (SP2)
    (same physical system - dual boot).
3.  Same problem with AdobeReader 7.0 and 7.0.8
4.  The file is _displayed_ perfectly in AdobeReader, gs and gsview.
5.  CUPS prints perfectly any other file from AdobeReader, and any kind of
    file from any other application (including command line).

Thanks,
-- Alex
