*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip" in the PPD file of your print queue and restart CUPS after editing the PPD file. Does printing now work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891026 Title: PDF printing from Evince through CUPS is very slow, sometimes fails Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When printing a PDF document from Evince using a CUPS defined printer, printing the document takes very long (up to 30 minutes). The ghostscript process runs at 100% CPUTIME. Here is the captures ghostscript command of one of the print test : gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono -r600x600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- /var/spool/cups/tmp/foomatic- AA6FvH This is the only evidence that ghostscript is responsible for the problem. Backporting the cups-1.4.5.3 would remove gs out of the equation, hopefully fixing the problem. Reproducible: 100% Workaround: Use the acroread PDF viewer which does not show this problem Request: PDF conversions using ghostscripts have been identified by previous bugs (LP#668800 ) and have been fixed in cups 1.4.5.3 by using poppler instead of ghostscript. We believe that a backport of the solution already present in Maverick/Natty to Lucid might solve the problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/891026/+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
