so the next step is to find out what the actual root cause is:
The original PDF file from the application that prints it
or the PDF output from /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf
or Ghostscript itself.

See
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue
how to get the original file that is to be printed
and how to run Ghostscript manually on that file
to check if Ghostscript can process it.
