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