The only place .& occurs in that postscript is at the end of the image.

Which implies that the image data may be longer than required, or that
adobe's current software expects the /ASCII85Decode data to have no
extra whitespace (the file leads each line in the ascii85 data with a
space).

For a test, try running:

  :; perl -pe 's/^ //' <gezond.ps >gezond2.ps

and then sending gezond2.ps to distiller or a printer.

If that works, then the indent is the imcompatibility.

If it does not work, then perhaps the pdf has extraneous data in the
image, and cairo copies all of it, rather than limiting the data to
the minimum necessary?  (Just speculating.)
