CUPS prints garbage instead of PDF documents

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We have configured CUPS printers on our print server. When we try to print PDF (Portable Document Format) documents, the printer prints characters senselessly.
  • My printer is printing garbage characters instead of the PDF document we want to print

Environment
