I just noticed two GS processes taking 100% of CPU load, no printer installed, only one PDF file open and one Octave plot output. The CPU temp was reaching 90oC, so with top I found two GS processes.

This PDF, for example: http://cdn.sazs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03 /Corporate-Formal-Banquet-Menu-2014.pdf Printing to any printer, the process gs will occupy 100% cpu for several minutes before the print job is actually sent. During this time an error will appear in a notification bubble that states "[printername] may not be connected" The job will eventually print. On older systems this same document takes half an hour to print.
