Ghostview has a bug when printing. You'll get a popup that says something like "Printing via 'lpr /tmp/gv_out_ps.sM0L6h' failed." In the console you'll see

Unknown device: pswrite
lpr: No file in print request.

More info on this bug can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1536211

And the patch Fedora uses can be found here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gv/blob/rawhide/f/gv-bz1536211.patch

Applying this patch in the PKGBUILD fixes the issue on my system.
