Resolved this issue by lowering and creating custom DPI values. Default DPI from foomatic postcript PPDs is usually 600 DPI or 1200 DPI. Ghostscript `pdftops` and `gs` both take a long time converting high DPI values. The 600 DPI also creates a large postscript file which in turn are slow over

It seems inotify doesn't work too well over nfs as the nfs server has a separate kernel from the nfs client. The client kernel does not see changes on the server's file system. So we are back to FAM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is
