In that case, there are several different drivers to choose from, and the recommended one is hpcups. To change driver (and see which are available), start system-config-printer ('Printing'/'Print Settings'), view the properties for the queue, and click on the 'Change...' button next to 'Make and model'. If you aren't using hpcups already, it indicates that the relevant package (hpijs) doesn't know the IEEE 1284 Device ID of your printer. In that case, it would be useful to see the output of 'su -c /usr/share/system-config-printer/check-device-ids.py'.
It was using the HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/pxlmono driver, which is the marked as the recommended one by system-config-printer; and not the hpcups driver.
Switched the driver to the hpcups one, and, trying the PDF file again, it printed directly, with no fuss.
