evince prints blank pages
I updated my system this morning, and I now have evince and nautilus with the "new" look. When I print with evince, I get blank pages. Printing still works fine with system-config-printer test prints, libreoffice, and adobe reader 9, but evince always prints blank pages. Appreciate any ideas.

Re: evince prints blank pages
What is the message or error from the printer in the CUPS logs (or from the CUPS printer administration page)?
Evince uses the "poppler" PDF library which was last updated on 2014-09-28. Poppler has been a little flakey for me in the past. I don't know if that helps. 
Okular also uses poppler but a little differently. Does printing with Okular work? If it does, it might tell us something.
It probably doesn't matte but, which printer are you using?

Re: evince prints blank pages
I don't see any errors in the CUPS log. It appears CUPS thinks it printed fine -- and the printer goes through all the motions, except the page is blank.
I don't have okular installed, and would rather not drag in a ton of KDE dependencies.
adobe reader 9 prints just fine, as do other apps.
Printer is a HP CM1312nfi
Thanks!

Re: evince prints blank pages
Do ANY PDFs print correctly with Evince? Try different types: text only, special characters, in-line images...
Does Evince print correctly to PDF? (Is that even possible in Evince? It is in other applications such as Leafpad...)

Re: evince prints blank pages
I can print a PDF file from evince just fine. Printing text only PDF's to printer from evince also works fine. So, it seems to be an issue with a particular file or type of file. Here is what I'm trying to print:

I have the same problem with a pdf version of a crutchfield radio install guide.

Re: evince prints blank pages
Update:
Same file prints fine with:
lp -d DCP7065DN CrutchfieldMasterSheet-0000120150.pdf
Any suggestions where to correctly report?
