I have 2 machines that have both been updated f20->f21. Printing was working before.
Now, when I try to print pdf using either okular or evince, all I get are blank pages.
I tried deleting the printer on one machine and re-installing. This time with a cover page.
The cover page prints. The other pages print blank.
I wonder if poppler is to blame.

After further testing, it appears that PDF printing is broken. Printing a page from google-chrome works fine.

After further testing, it seems neither okular nor evince works. But adobe acroread does print correctly.

Try switching your window decorations away from the Oxygen theme. That's the word: that Oxygen is flawed.

No, I've gotten past the problem of evince not working with gtk+-oxygen. The problem is that pdfs print blank pages in evince and in okular, but acroread prints OK.

Sounds very unlikely. I was printing pdfs with lots of graphics. Doesn't seem like that would be a font issue.
The problem occurs with evince and with okular, but not with adobe acroread. I'm taking a wild guess that evince and okular use system libraries to render, while acroread is probably self-contained, and the problem is some library like cairo.

There is information about how to isolate this sort of problem on this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems#Finding_where_...
Perhaps you could try following that procedure and seeing what turns up?

Thanks! I found lp -o landscape -o fit-to-page xxx.pdf
printed just fine!
But printing from evince produced blank pages. Almost blank, there are 2 tiny blue letters at the bottom of each page.

So now you can try to isolate why the evince print job fails by enabling PreserveJobFiles and examining the actual data it sent, and seeing if that's broken or if one of the filters breaks it.

1. First let me make clear that I am seeing this same bug on 2 different f21 machines I've tested.
2. The files left in /var/spool/cups show the problem. It appears almost all of the image is rendered off the page. The tiny non-blank part I saw is the part that wasn't clipped off page.
Are the files in /var/spool/cups the original output from evince?
