Public bug reported:
printing of large files is extremely slow in intrepid due to
(unnecessary?) post-processing
setup:
- Ubuntu Intrepid as of Oct. 27th
- Kyocera Printer 1800+ connected via Ethernet (100mps), configured as
PostScript printer (Foomatic/Postscript)
problem:
I am currently trying to print out a 400 page PDF from Adobe Reader
(incidentally the manuscript for my German Ubuntu book :-); for about a
minute or two, nothing happens at all; when the printing finally starts,
it is much slower as it was in Hardy
top shows that gs is constantly running
to get around this mess, I tried print the PDF in Adobe Reader to a file
(test.ps); then, I printed the file directly using lp test.ps; as the
printer is a postscript printer (and marked as such in cups), I expected
CUPS would simply transfers the file to the printer; not so! same
effects as above
lp -q raw test.ps finally did it, the document is currently printing in
the expected speed of ca. 10 - 20 pages / minute
I know there are about a dozen other bug reports of users experiencing
similar effects with CUPS in Intrepid, but I was not sure which had the
same roots as my problems; so I opened a new report
** Affects: cups (Ubuntu)
