It does rather doesn't it.

I notice from the Document Properties that the fonts used in your doc are all 
Embedded Subset's so you would think it wouldn't need any other fonts and as 
you say it renders fine on the screen.  Maybe its a bug with its printing of 
embedded fonts.  I haven't struck a problem printing any other PDF's, not 
that I've tried to print many.

No sorry.

I had to do that too.  It looks to me that it looks at the /usr/bin/lp{r,} and 
for some reason takes the directory part (/usr/bin), cd's to it (so ends up 
in /emul/linux/usr/bin since that exists) does a getcwd 
(getting /usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/bin) and then prepends that to lp{r,} and 
tries to use that which clearly wont work.  Why it bothers to try rather than 
just using what it was given I don't know.
