(Apologies to others for being absent for a while - rather busy lately).
Your problem is most probably an issue with interaction between (some
version of) ghostscript and postscript generated by Acrobat reader.
The few lines around "/undefined in --get--" are ghostscript error messages.
While it is most probably a bug in esp ghostscript, if you want printing of
pdf works reliably, you probably should use open-source software for reading
and displaying pdf's, such as xpdf, evince, kpdf, gv, gsview, ggv, and
another dozen of pdf-capable software based on either xpdf/libpoppler or
ghostscript. So I have a few suggestions:
(1) use xpdf/evine/kpdf/gv/gsview/ggv instead of acrobat reader for your pdf
needs.
(2) complain to Adobe - concerning "--> This document is DSC-conforming!",
and Acrobat reader not being open-source.
DSC is an Adobe standard, and we are talking about a piece of Adobe software
generating postscript code which does not conform to an Adobe standard here.
(3) choose "print to file", and attach that file to the bug report.
esp ghostscript's bug tracking is on http://www.cups.org/ somewhere.
(4) esp ghostscript is somewhat old compared to the main ghostscript (for
licensing reasons, etc). it is possible that the problem has already been fixed
but not yet widely available.
