Hi! Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, HP Laserjet P2055DN. I installed HP drivers, recommended settings. Images are getting printed very slow (minutes pass since the print command is sent until the actual printing starts). I opened system-config-printer and manually changed the "Make and Model" to "HP LaserJet p2055dn pcl3, hpcups 3.16.3" instead of PostScript one. Now, it prints the images fast (seconds).

Probably your printer has not enough memory to be used as an allround PostScript printer (like the HP LaserJet 1200/1300).

[Bug 1095498] Re: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow
The CUPS error_log file was empty. I captured data sent to the printer (file attached). If I submit this postscript file as an original print job, the same symptoms occur -- the printer light flashes for a while and then the printer returns to idle without printing anything. The captured postscript file begins with %!PS-Adobe-3.0, but my printer (an HP 3030) does not support postscript level 3! Why is level 3 being generated? There must be something wrong with the foomatic config files describing the hp 3030 printer. I don't know where those original files are, but somebody who does should be able to check whether they say the printer is level 2 only or not. The file /etc/cups/ppd/queuename.ppd on my systemdoes contain *LanguageLevel: 3 ** Attachment added: captured_printerdata.ps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+attachment/3902673/+files/captured_printerdata.ps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1095498] Re: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow
Can you try the following: 1. Edit your /etc/cups/ppd/queuename.ppd replacing '*LanguageLevel: 3' by '*LanguageLevel: 2', then restart CUPS running the command sudo restart cups in a terminal window. Try to print again. Does printing work for you now? 2. Follow the instructions of step (11) in the section PostScript (PDF) printer chokes on the PostScript (PDF) coming from Ubuntu on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. Does printing work for you now? Do not undo this change now. 3. Undo step (1), setting the language level in the PPD file back to 3. Do not forget to restart CUPS.

[Bug 1095498] Re: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow
Yes, setting LanguageLevel: 2 fixed the problem! And the image printed very quickly. Thank you so much for fixing the original speed problem. I'm guessing the PS level 3 mis-config was there all along, but can't easily confirm that.

[Bug 1095498] Re: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow
I'm really sorry, my previous post comment #13) was a mistake. The problem is not fixed after all, and with the .ppd file changed to have LanguageLevel: 2 the driver still generates a PS Level 3 data for the printer (I think I used the wrong queue name before and unintentionally used a pcl driver instead of foomatic/Postscript). I used the technique described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems to capture the data sent to the printer, and it is still PS level 3. Here's what I did: 1. Set FileDevice yes in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf 2. lpadmin -p test2 -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P /etc/cups/ppd/HP3030_Postscript.ppd # HP3030_Postscript is the name of my foomatic/Postscript queue 3. Edited /etc/cups/ppd/test2.ppd to say *LanguageLevel: 2 4. restart cups 5. rm -f /tmp/printout 6. lpr -P test2 googlemap.pdf 7. vim /tmp/printout The resulting file still begins with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 Doing lpadmin -p test2 -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops; restart cups makes no difference, I still get %!PS-Adobe-3.0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1095498] Re: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow
DIS-confirmed. Using the foomatic/Postscript driver, text files and the CUPS test page printed correctly, but when I tried to print a Google Maps map of San Francisco (per the original bug description), a job was sent to the printer which never printed. The activity light flashed for about 10 seconds while the printer displayed Printing document (as is normal), then the printer returned to idle state without printing anything. The exact same map prints correctly using either the CUPS+Gutenprint V5.29 driver or the HP LaserJet 3030 pcl3 hpcups 3.13.3 driver. The job-which-prints-nothing is odd. It is as if the driver sent corrupted Postscript, e.g. with no showpage at the end, or else encoded the image in a way which silently exceeded the memory on my older printer (an HP LaserJet 3030 mfp). Normally the printer displays an error message on its panel if memory is exhausted, and you have to press a button to continue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Setting project to foomatic-filters, as the problem seems related to foomatic or something it calls. That might not be the right project; someone please change it if you know how to better target this bug to the people who can fix it. P.S. I'm suspicious of how foomatic calls ghostscript to interpret pdf postscript files in software and re-generate new postscript for the printer.It sounds redundant but there must be a reason for it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
