<pre>This file, when converted by pdftocairo -ps -level3 into PostScript for
printing cannot be printed on printers using Adobe engine, and cannot be opened
with Distiller XI because the following error is produced.
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: .& ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I see that GS and Evince can open the original PDF and resulting PS files just
fine, so the PostScript must be OK. I also reported this to Adobe, and they
will probably update their Distiller engine, but updating printers firmware is
unlikely to happen.
Do you know if it is possible to make the resulting PostScript more compatible
with Distiller? If a conversion is made by pdftops or pdf2ps, there are no
errors, it is just pdftocairo that causes it.
Original PDF and resulting PS files are attached.</pre>
