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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
