Safari quit unexpectedly trying to initialize the PDE plugin

We have a Mac computer running OS 10.9, which would not print .pdf documents within Safari.  When trying to print, the print dialog would come up, but when you clicked print, the browser window would spontaneously close, with the error message "Safari quit unexpectedly trying to initialize the PDE plugin".

Clicking details showed that the browser was trying to use a pde.plugin file inside /Library/Printers/Konica folder, error below.  This was when trying to print to a Konica c360 multi-function printer.

Looking at the print drivers, I found that a newer one was available on the Konica website here:
http://onyxweb.mykonicaminolta.com/OneStopProductSupport/SearchResults?products=1248&fileTypes=0&OSs=39

Installing the new printer driver fixed the issue.
