What driver are you using? Please run apport-collect 1296387 to attach this basic info to this bug report.
Can you try with your example PDF file to send the data that would go to the printer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Getting_the_data_which_would_go_to_the_printer directly to the printer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Sending_a_file_to_the_printer_unfiltered and see if it takes the same amount of time to print as printing directly with lp or lpr, this would give the confirmation that the time is lost by actually sending the data to your printer and not in pre-processing. Can you also try connecting your printer over the network connection and see if that speeds things up? (As an alternative according to the specifications of the Brother HL-4070CDW it also supports PCL6. So you can also try if a different driver especially Foomatic/pxlcolor or Generic>Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5c for this color laser printer gives speedier results. Let us know which one works best comparing speed and graphics output quality.) ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296387 Title: CUPS takes very long time to print PDF or raw PS file.
