What the log tells us is this:

2012-07-18 12:23:31  DEBUG     gm.printing 
(/Users/djb/Downloads/gnumed-client.1.2.1/Gnumed/pycommon/gmPrinting.py::_print_files_by_mac_preview()
 #105): printing with ['open', '-a Preview', 
u'/var/folders/rR/rRhuX5jzF8WCKfgoTie3Zk+++TQ/-Tmp-/gnumed/gm-k0rQsn/gm-L-Template-x2MCfW-instance.pdf']
2012-07-18 12:23:32  ERROR     gm.printing 
(/Users/djb/Downloads/gnumed-client.1.2.1/Gnumed/pycommon/gmPrinting.py::_print_files_by_mac_preview()
 #113): <open -a Preview> returned [1], failed to print

In other words, the call to "open -a Preview <filename>"
returns 1 (rather than the 0 which would typically be
expected).

Now we need to find out:

Does 1 (also) mean that "open -a Preview" works as expected ?

        -> What is the return code if you run it from the CLI ?

        -> Does the invoice open in Preview *despite* GNUmed
           thinking differently ?

If not we'll need to find out why.

Can you retry that with a newly created invoice and look at
the return code thereof ?

I'm checking.
