Thank you, Stew, for confirming that the SRU fixes this bug. We will
soon add it to the automatic updates.
Passing text directly to the printer is not a bug but a feature request.
This feature request is not specific to Ubuntu but interesting for users
of all distributions, especially users of

The font width problem has been reported as bug # 474962 and as bug #
485665. One place focuses on the number of chars per line, while the
other one focuses on the char width.
It looks like someone has put a duplicate bug notice on 474962, but
there is not yet one up on 485665. I just refreshed

I followed the instructions above to go to the link that explains how to
set things up to install the package from -proposed.
My /etc/apt/lists.conf has

I have checked the server and the new CUPS packages are there.
Can you run the command
sudo apt-get update
in a terminal window? Can you download the updated CUPS now?

Thanks. I have been away from ubuntu for awhile and am rusty, so forgot
to do that. I have now done it, saw that all the repos updated. Saw
the lines:
Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed/main Packages
Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed/multiverse
I was able to install the above update. The presence of
/etc/apt/preferences with a priority of 400 was, I believe, causing
synaptic to hide it. I may also have been confused about the package
name. I was looking for cups1.4.2-7, but the ubuntu number still starts
out as 1.4.1-5Ubuntu2.2.

The problem is not a bug in the texttopdf filter and so not a bug to be
fixed in the cups package. The bug is in the FreeMono font which is
provided by the ttf-freefont package. See e-mail cited below (Hin-Tak
was mentor of the Google Summer of Code student who wrote texttopdf,
Steve is upstream
Hi,
I am investigating this, but at this time, it appears at least more
complex than Hin-Tak reported. On systems at my disposal, using the
same tools (ftview) he cites, FreeMono looks great. This means that
either he has a somehow different copy of FreeMono from the
distribution, or some other
Fix for Lucid committed to the BZR repository of CUPS at Debian.

Hin-Tak Leung and Steve White had more discussion and this has resulted
in a workaround to be applied to texttopdf in the cups package. See Hin-
Tak's e-mail below. The workaround is a one-byte change which I have
tested now on both Karmic and Lucid where it actually solves the
problem. Therefore
Uploaded SRU for Karmic to the -proposed repository which is waiting for
approval now. This SRU fixes this bug and also bug 407344, bug 487902,
and bug 508731. debdiff is attached.

There is apparently a bug in FontForge, by which a few characters were
appended to the TTF and OTF binaries of FreeFont (and other fonts).
This may be partly responsible for the problems you have seen. We are
onto it.

I have the same problem. The CUPS documentation says the default cpi is 10, but
it looks like the cpi scaling is off.
If I print with lpr using default settings, I get 6 characters per inch.
If I print with lp -o cpi=10, I get 6.25 characters per inch.
If I print with lpr -o cpi=17, I get 10
