I have the same setup here and palatino documents print fine. I do both: send the raw pdf to a cups server (let it deal with it) and convert the pdf to pcl prior to sending it to the printer.

Do you have multiple versions of the TeXGyre Pagella installed? Maybe one of them is corrupt.
You might want to try outline the fonts and strip them from the document:
gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -dNOCACHE -sOutputFile=nofont-Myfile.ps -q -dbatch -dNOPAUSE Myfile.pdf -c quit
Optionally convert back to pdf with ps2pdf and try print that file. If ghostscript complains right away the problem is not your printer.

Can you print to CUPS-PDF? Or do you get rubbish as well?

Why not? PostScript printers should handle nofont-Myfile.ps (see above).
