I just tentatively switched my printing system to LPRng, which can be 
done on-the-fly in RH9. LPRng uses plain ghostscript (as well as cups on 
my system, I'd bet), but got the same results: Rogers's pages print fine.
Just another guess: I saw in Acrobat's document properties that the 
pages were PDF level 1.4 which might not be supported by older versions 
of ghostscript?
