I can't see any way to reproduce the page description accurately without running into the same problem.
IIRC, some Windows Postscript drivers have the option to produce the page as an image, which I believe is intended to work around this type of issue. Thus reducing the PDL complexity, for such limited printers, at expense of comms traffic. I'm intrigued by Till's results with the HP because, as I stated above, the path(s) in question, whether they are explicitly described in the PS, or result from character outlines are equivalent in complexity at the time the printer executes the clip operator. I would expect it to always be slow, because making marks through such a hugely complex clipping path is a very time consuming operation. Sorry the news isn't better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049635 Title: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript: New Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am trying to print http://www.kochzauber.de/resources/pdf/beispielrezepte.pdf however my printout contains the following: ERROR: limitcheck OFFENDING COMMAND: clip STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: ghostscript 9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-14.16-generic 3.5.3 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.5.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Sep 12 13:56:41 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120331) Lpstat: p11-kit: duplicate configured module: gnome-keyring.module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so device for Canon-MP280-series: usb://Canon/MP280%20series?serial=71DACC&interface=1 device for Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: socket://192.168.178.3:9100 device for Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: ipp://laser:631/ipp MachineType: LENOVO 6474A46 Papersize: a4 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card PpdFiles: Canon-MP280-series: Canon PIXMA MP280 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended) Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: Kyocera FS-1350DN (KPDL) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-14-generic root=UUID=b32d85c9-d1fb-49ca-8c94-c64d321221b3 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: ghostscript UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-08-02 (40 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 04/19/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 7UET86WW (3.16 ) dmi.board.name: 6474A46 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr7UET86WW(3.16):bd04/19/2010:svnLENOVO:pn6474A46:pvrThinkPadT400:rvnLENOVO:rn6474A46:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 6474A46 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1049635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
