generally, I use windows native print drivers and set up cups to give me
a 'raw' printer that just allows the windows native print driver to work
without putting print code through the ghostscript interpreter.

You don't say how you are actually printing so it's hard to give you
anything specific here.

In general, a PDF should print just like any other document.
