There are two observations made in the initial mail. The first involves the command echo bla | lpd -d PDF The PDF produced by cups-pdf using ghostscript was attached to the mail. In terms of font type (freemono) and font size it is exactly what I get too. I'd venture to say it is what everyone should expect to get. Before proceeding with a reason I'd like to point out there is a mismatch between the PDF and the error_log in that the log does not correspond to the print job above. Firstly, there is no texttopdf filter invoked. Secondly, the submitted document is a PDF: D [21/Sep/2014:12:17:22 +0200] [Job ???] Auto-typing file... I [21/Sep/2014:12:17:22 +0200] [Job ???] Request file type is application/pdf. Thirdly, the document has a title but was submitted on stdin: D [21/Sep/2014:12:17:22 +0200] [Job 25] argv[3]="django-gitcms/load.py at master · luispedro/django-gitcms" It turns out not to be important but it took a little time for me to cotton on. :) The so-called small fonts? They were chosen to produce a good output on paper (which we why we use cups). Any larger and the text lines would be broken or overflow the margins. That is also why a monospaced font is used; I think it goes back to the typewriter days. I do not think there is a bug here. The second observation concerns iceweasel. Please would you try Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced and try altering "Size" for "Monospace". That should do it. Note that iceweasel submits a PDF to cups, not text.
