I found the following post on Superuser about this printer which says it all. If I had looked first I would not have needed to post my question, apologies for that. I would like to resolve it before going to a better laser printer. This inability to print a pdf is not very frequent and I usually find a way round somehow, but would like to know if it be hardware firmware or software related. The attached document was printed by inkscape when qpdfview and adobe 9 both refused it. pdf files coming from outside my system usually cause no problems. The pdf files have usually been created by my system, either simple scan or libre office writer.
If I have a jpg image available cortresponding to the pdf this also provides a way of printing an otherwise unavailable document. Adobe reader 9 often fails to print and again inkscape usually rescues me. Qpdfview is the usual culprit and opening the same document using inkscape usually enables the document to be printed. A test print after such a refusal invariably produces the test page print as expected. The orange error light flashes although paper supply is good. On frequent occasions I am unable to print a pdf document usually but not exclusively consisting a single page. The Brother HL-1110 is a cheap monochrome laser printer with page limit issues related to the capacity of the toner drum but this is quite a new one and in any case it prints certain documents well including the test page.
I post this old problem here although I have experienced it while running under previous releases.
