Printing this file with Evince 3.10.3 (on Peppermint six OS, a Linux distribution) generates the following entries in
/var/log/cups/error_log:

(printed using cups 1.7.2)

As you see, the title string is far too long with respect to the IPP specification. Try to print it using e.g.
the Gnome document viewer, which works perfectly.
