Two work-arounds that may or may not be of value:

Try printing to a file and then print that.

Along the same line of thinking, try printing to CUPS-PDF and then print that.

If you want to refine that, you could try running this script:

QUOTE:
echo Close this window when done.
while [ x ]; do
for i in /home/dawn/PDF-AutoPrint/*.pdf; do
if [ -f $i ]
then
        sleep 5
        lpr $i
        rm $i
fi
done
sleep 15
done
END OF QUOTE

I use this as a work-around with an old Windows program that runs under Wine
but refuses to print.
