There are several models that might be "HP 1320" -- I'm going to guess
you're talking about an HP LaserJet 1320? In that case, there are
several different drivers to choose from, and the recommended one is
hpcups.
To change driver (and see which are available), start
system-config-printer ('Printing'/'Print Settings'), view the properties
for the queue, and click on the 'Change...' button next to 'Make and
model'.
If you aren't using hpcups already, it indicates that the relevant
package (hpijs) doesn't know the IEEE 1284 Device ID of your printer.
In that case, it would be useful to see the output of 'su
-c /usr/share/system-config-printer/check-device-ids.py'.
It was using the HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/pxlmono driver, which is the marked as the recommended one by system-config-printer; and not the hpcups driver.
Switched the driver to the hpcups one, and, trying the PDF file again, it printed directly, with no fuss.
