***BUG*** Acroread 8.1.2 CANNOT PRINT pdfs from PLOS One...

Question

Hello, after much hassle, I finally determined that my shiny new 8.1.2 installation (which is sweet!) CANNOT PRINT *ANY* PDFs generated by the online journal PLOS One. The CUPS debug output shows that the foomatic-rip renderer *always* dies with an "Illegal Seek (29)" error. These PDFs also CANNOT be printed to PS files -- same renderer error.
I have verified this behavior with several PLOS One PDFs. I have also verified that 8.1.2 *can* print other PDFs I have on my system. So the issue is with how 8.1.2 is handling PLOS One PDFs which may be non-conforming. HOWEVER, I distinctly remember being able to print PLOS One PDFs using Acroread 7. So this is a new problem with 8.1.2.
EDIT2: I dug up the 7.0.1 acroread which was left on my system after installing 8.1.2, and verified that it CAN print the two PDFs linked below. So this proves the issue is a BUG in 8.1.2 and I have filed a bug report with Adobe.
Representative PDFs can be found at the following links:
http://www.plosone.org/article/fetchObjectAttachment.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjou rnal.pone.0003446&representation=PDF
http://www.plosone.org/article/fetchObjectAttachment.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjou rnal.pone.0003309&representation=PDF
...or simply goto www.plosone.org and select any article and then select the PDF link.
The remainder of this post contains the CUPS debug2 log listing for printing a single page from a PLOS One PDF. I have included only the stuff involving the foomatic-rip renderer. Sorry for the length of the log dump... I jumped straight to debug2... :)
EDIT: ok, your forum clips posts *way* too short to let me post the debug listing... so I uploaded it here: http://wolbachiax.googlepages.com/cups_error_log.txt ...Please consider adding attachments support, or allowing long [code] blocks or longer posts.
Thanks,

When you select print from the menu bar a print
window opens. Verify that the correct printer is
selected. Adobe will over ride some defaults and put
in itself. Let me know if this didn't work.
Thanks Glynn, but the correct printer is indeed selected. This is a weird one!
FWIW, here is my CUPS error log:
