Not necessarily. Other PDF viewers often hand over PDF to CUPS for printing, so
the processing inside CUPS (the CUPS filter chain) is different as for the case
where PostScript is passed, which Okular does by default. Therefore, issues
that only happen inside the printing system may not be exposed by using other
viewers.

When using rasterized printing, Okular also passes PDF, so that's usually a
rather good indicator (though other aspects than just the file format itself
may expose bugs in the printer or printing system as well), as is the fact
whether printing the PostScript file manually works. (If printing manually from
command line shows the same problem, the issue is probably outside of Okular.)
