If your printer-subsystem offers you a pdfwriter pseudo-printer you can
simply open the PDF and print it to a file with appropriate settings to
downsample the images to a lower resolution. I have just tried this with
KDE's "Print to File (PDF)" and it worked; I am sure Gnome has something
similar.
When you say open the PDF, how are you "opening" it? I have xpdf to
view it, and I use CUPS for printing.
I opened it with kpdf (KDE's xpdf derivative) which automatically prints
to "kprinter". I can also do it with xpdf since it can be configured to
use kprinter as well ("Print with command: kprinter"). So my solution is
rather KDE specific I am afraid. I think Evince on Gnome has the same
functionality. Unfortunately I do not know if a "naked" CUPS has the
same handy pdfwriter with the option to downsample images, and I could
not find any command line tool to do this.
I hope this helps.

Florian
