Public bug reported: Hello. I've had this problems for years (Since Ubuntu 10.04) and I decided now to write about it. I have a few files that come from Powerpoint and saved into PDF. Those files have a background with some patterns/vectors/whatever that make the printing extremely slow. Processing of each of this pages takes several minutes.
You can find the file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6rzee0q3nszbpd5/PPT%20with%20background.pdf?dl=0 Im using the following driver: HP Color LaserJet 9500 pcl3, hpcups 3.16.11. Using a Gutenprint driver seems to fix the issue. However. There are other several documents that have problems with Gutenprint, therefore, I would prefer to keep the HP driver and try with some different workaround. The command I'm using to print is: lp -d printer -o fit-to-page -o media=Letter -o number-up=4 -o page-border=none -o number-up-layout=btlr -o sides=two-sided-short-edge "/home/ubuntu/filename.pdf" I hope we can find the bug. I've find several similar problems and no solution yet. Thanks! ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694680 Title: Extremely slow printing of pdf file made from a powerpoint with background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1694680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
