I used xpdf for years because of its simplicity. However, recently (with
Wheezy?), it sometimes cannot print a PDF. Blank pages come out of the
printer. I've had to resort to $ lpr to print.

Printing is about all I need from a PDF viewer. Mupdf is appealing, but
I have yet to find any way to get it to print. I like qpdfview beause it
is simple and prints, but I find that I one can't select text with a
mouse for pasting elsewhere, which is crucial for me. I can select text
in evince, and so installed atril. At this point it seems it is my only
choice if I want to avoid dragging a lot of garbage in (okular).
