Since the problem seems to be in Preview, you might report it to  
Apple, either at
  http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
or at
  https://bugreport.apple.com/
which requires first signing up as a developer at
  http://developer.apple.com/

You might also try 'lpr' from Terminal, for comparison.
