Thank you Till to point me this command (and the documentation). It appears that pdftocairo default is 600, but pdftops default is bigger. This seems to be the reason why I gain so much when I swtich to pdftocairo. Now, if I choose pdftops-max-image-resolution-default=300 (with ProRes 1200 option), I have the best intensity/quality output and an acceptable speed. With these settings, pdftops and pdftocairo have much less difference in output file size, even if pdftocairo is still a bit better (gs in between, but slower in reality).
May I suggest to revise pdftops-max-image-resolution-default, particulary if pdftops is retained as the default renderer. Even if README file of cups-filters considers pdftocairo as "experimental", I will work with this for a while and time will tell. If necessary, I will return to pdftops or maybe try acroread. Thank you all. ** Summary changed: - postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) + [SOLVED] postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476705 Title: [SOLVED] postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1476705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
