i do, brother 5250 dn.

otoh, since k3b was no longer working on gnome, i switched to kde, and kde's evince equivalent works without any issue (except maybe the scrambled graphics, but i don't remember if it was evince or okular in charge). still f10, here, but not for long. i'll report more after i'll switch to f11 .

Just a thought - you say '4 images per page'.  Have you checked the size of
those images?  A page with 4 images on, if they are fairly large, would take
a long time to process before printing, and may be causing time-outs.  While
I would expect to be able to send a large document in one go, I'd be doubtful
if it contained so much processing requirement.  HTH
