part of screendump of preview print output

A PDF document with a bar code shows OK on the screen, however is scrambled on the printer.
See attached pictures.
The one with the scrambled text is taken from the printer example on the screen.
This is regression. I was able to print it correctly with a previous version of okular.

I can provide the original file by private communication with the developer.

Try the force rasterization option, that should workaround it probably.

Also does pdftops produce the same problematic conversion?
