Package: cups
Version: 1.4.2-4

according to a quick google the bug in question seems to be caused
by libcairo in testing/sid, which has not the fix from 1.8.10
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?h=1.8&id=7f22d9d433599292d1e9778f29df0
f

the trouble is easily reproducible with uptodate testing with the
following pdf 
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.0785v1

trying to print from testing evince to a stable cups printer.


tried to upgrade to libcairo2 from experimental but didn't
reload session and bug could still be reproduced:
ii  libcairo2      1.9.4-1        The Cairo 2D vector graphics library

from q&d checking aboves git all the debian libcairo2 seem to old
to contain aboves fix.
