A postscript document (for example, produced by KiCad schematic, or a gnuplot graph) has the file, print menu item grayed out and so cannot be printed with Xviewer. The Xviewer help says this will happen if the document is print prohibited (or password protected) and you will get a dialog that allows entering a suitable password. No dialog appears. The same document prints fine using another reader--Atril eg.
I believe this behaviour may be a recent upgrade related because the non-printing behaviour was not a problem a couple of weeks ago.
This may be related to previously raised issue 262, except for the apparently recent manifestation.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the disabled print menu with a PostScript document produced by KiCad or gnuplot, then compare the behavior with Atril. Trace Xreader's document print handling and determine whether the print action should be enabled or show the password dialog; done means prohibited PostScript documents can follow the documented print flow.
