Hello,
I experience exactly the same bug: I often find PDF files which cannot
be correctly printed with lpr from cups-bsd (some images and/or parts
of text are missing in the hardcopy).
Printing from evince and zathura mysteriously works...

I experience the bug with a number of different printers, hence I don't
think it is a hardware-specific issue.

Indeed, I would really like to see this bug fixed.
Could some knowledgeable printing team member try and reproduce the
issue?

Thanks for your time!
