Public bug reported:
evince does successfully display a ps document, but when attempting to print or
preview (whether to a file or printer) fails, with either a blank page (for
print) or blank window (for preview) produced, and some error output at the
terminal. Any ps document (text or graphical) has this failure. A PDF document
succeeds in the print preview, but with the same warning (see below examples)
so the warning may not be important.
qpdfviewer does successfully print the ps file, so not a hardware issue.

Screen display works for ps files, but a
warning and error are produced when attempting to print or preview
a postscript file (see below). The same warning is produced for print/preview
of a pdf file, but the preview succeeds. A comment was added to launchpad bug
1978838 which had this same warning when launching evince. evince does not
crash, the display of the file is not affected when the print/preview fails.
