[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1801496] Re: Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

2019-01-24 Thread William.Yeung
Dear Till,

   Thank you very much for taking your time to help investigate this
issue and providing us a method to continue the investigation even when
you are so busy.

We had tried to figure out the difference of convert into PostScript and
no conversion to PostScript by the method you provide on the date
2019-01-18(#15).

But negatively, we don’t know the correct way to make it work.

We use the PPD attached (Ricoh-MP_C5503_PXL.ppd) to print a job. The output 
capture file(test_modify_Fail.prn) shows that the capture command did not 
convert normally.
The output capture file(test_modify_Fail.prn) on which you can figure out that 
capture command file output by the PPD (Add "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:") 
missing a lot of commands than the capture command file(test_original_OK.prn) 
output by the original PPD (without modify).

We suspected the definition of FoomaticRIP Command is duplicate by below two 
define(“*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:” and “*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:”):
---
*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "(printf '\033%%-12345X@PJL\n@PJL JOB\n@PJL SET 
COPIES=&copies;\n'%G|perl -p -e "s/\x26copies\x3b/1/");
(gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE %B%A%C %D%E | perl -p 
-e "s/^\x1b\x25-12345X//" | perl -p -e 
"s/\xc1\x01\x00\xf8\x31\x44/\x44/g");
(printf '@PJL\n@PJL EOJ\n\033%%-12345X')"
*End
*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF: "(printf '\033%%-12345X@PJL\n@PJL JOB\n@PJL 
SET COPIES=&copies;\n'%G|perl -p -e "s/\x26copies\x3b/1/");
(gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE %B%A%C %D%E | perl -p 
-e "s/^\x1b\x25-12345X//" | perl -p -e 
"s/\xc1\x01\x00\xf8\x31\x44/\x44/g");
(printf '@PJL\n@PJL EOJ\n\033%%-12345X')"
*End
---
So, we delete the command “*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:” from PPD, Hopping the way 
can make it works correctly.
But the output capture file shows that this method is the same result with two 
FoomaticRIP Command definition.

Can you lead us the correct way to the investigation of no conversion to
PostScript.

And if you have further investigation result, it’s appreciated to share
with us.

  Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

  We(RICOH printer driver developer) are report a problem from our printer 
users:
  I print file Ubuntu 14.04.5, CUPS 2.1.3,Ghostscript 9.25 is fast(12 Seconds).

  But, after I update to Ubuntu 16.04, CUPS 2.1.3, Ghostscript 9.25, I
  print the same file with the same driver is slow(326 Seconds).

  I figure out that all the print jobs is much slower on Ubuntu 16.04.

  I view the "CUPS Error Log",   it shows that there are three points
  which maybe the reasons that makes the print job slowly.

  
  FIRST:
  
  By counting the time from "Starting renderer" to "renderer exited with status 
0", we figure out that 16.04 spend more time than 14.04 on "renderer" process.
  So we assuming that:"renderer" is one of the key process that makes the print 
job slowly.

  "Starting renderer with command: \"printf \'\\033%%-12345X@PJL 
JOB\\012\';printf \'@PJL SET DATAMODE=TWIN\\  @PJL 
EOJ\\012\\033%%-12345X\'\""
  .
  renderer exited with status 0"
  


  SECOND:
  
  On 16.04, a print job outputs lots of logs as below:
  "[Job xxx] Removing document files."

  This step(“Removing document files”)does not exsit on 14.04.
  

  
  The phenomenon that print jobs slower in 16.04 is more obvious when printing 
many jobs in the same time.

  THIRD
  We tried drivers form other company(HP,Brother…), the printings also slow 
down in Ubuntu 16.04 than 14.04.

  Our question is:
  1. Do you have any plan to improve the performance of printing on Ubuntu 
16.04?
  2. Do you have any workaround before this problems fixed?

A problem I have observed in the logs is that foomatic-rip calls
Ghostscript twice here. Once to convert the PDF input into PostrScript
and then to convert the PostScript into PCL XL.

Can you please try to set up your printer with the attached PPD file?

TRhe difference to the original is the following:

I simply have copied the part which defines the Ghostscript command line
with the copy using the keyword "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:" instead of
"*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:". This tells foomatic-rip that the command
line is also vald for PDF input and no conversion to PostScript is
required.

If this solves the problem, I recommend to do this for all non-
PostScript PPD files.

2019-01-18 Thread Till Kamppeter
One thing you should test is to run Ghostscript separately. For this,
take the Ghostscript command line from the error_log and feed your PDF
file directly into it. How long does it take? Is it much faster than
running as part of the print job? Or is it more or less the same?

2019-01-18 Thread William.Yeung
Dear Till,

Thank you very much for taking your time to help investigate this issue
and providing us a way to judge if "Ghostscript" causes the slowdown of
"pdftops" even when you are so busy.

If possible, can you do us a favor on the below investigation: 
We found that Ricoh PS driver does not slow down very much actually, we found 
that the drivers which uses "pxlcolor / pxlmono" slow down obviously, so we 
provided error_log of Ricoh pxlcolor driver in #9. 
You can refer to the error_log in #9 on this page.

In this log, we can see that the time interval between [Starting process
"renderer"] and [Closing renderer] really slowdown obviously in Ubuntu
16.04 than in 14.04. In the interval, there is "Running command line for
gs".

We doubted that maybe the Ghostscript causes the slow down, but the
developer of Ghostscript proved that the gs only slowdown very little
time. Please refer to
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700380

So, we doubted that maybe the module around Ghostscript(for example:
foomatic-rip) causes the slow down. Could you have a look at the log in
#9 (and later), and do some analysis when you have time?

If you have further investigation result, it’s appreciated to share with
us.

Best Regards,

2019-01-17 Thread Till Kamppeter
Sorry for the late reply, I had some other more urgent tasks to do.

I have looked into your log.

foomatic-rip was running for 5 seconds (09:09:52 - 09:09:57) and it ran
this time due to the Ghostscript process it called and which by itself
ran at least 4 seconds. This does not look for a very long time and if
you think this is for the document which you had sent, it is a problem
of Ghostscript. As foomatic-rip calls the pdftops filter of cups-filters
and then pdftops calls Ghostscript for actually converting the incoming
PDF to PostScript, you can let pdftops use Poppler instead of
Ghostscript for this task to see whether Poppler processes the job more
quickly.

To switch pdftops to Poppler, use the "pdftops-renderer=pdftops" option
(see README of cups-filters, /usr/share/doc/cups-filters/README.gz).

If with Poppler your jobs go more quickly, report a bug on
www.ghostscript.com, supplying a sample input file and the Ghostscript
command line (you find it in CUPS' error_log). Before doing this please
also try to run the Ghostscript command line directly on the input file
from a terminal window, to check whether Ghostscript was really that
slow. Also printing very many and/or big jobs in a row and observing the
output of the "top" command could help.

If the problem is not the slowness of Ghostscript but the "Removing
document files." task afterwards taking a full minute (does this make
the next job wait that minute?) report a bug on www.cups.org. Note that
this delay is not caused by Ghostscript or foomatic-rip as these
processes had already ended before.

Dear Till,

  I'am very sorry to bother you again.
  But we have to ask you do me a favor to investigate why 
cups-filter(foomatic-rip) process takes more time, cause 
cups-filter(foomatic-rip)'s investigation is beyond our ability.

  We had investigate all printing related filter, and figure out
that cups-filter(foomatic-rip) is the key filter that slowdown the
printing performance.

  We are still working hard to looking for cause why Ubuntu 16.04
printing performance slowdown. And many printer users are affected by
this problem, they are eagerly want to known the reason why cause this
problem and get a effective method to improve printing performance.

 We appreciate that you can do we a favor on the investigation why
16.04's printing performance slowdown. And if possible, can you share
the investigation result or schedule(date or current
statues:Pending/Investigating/Closed) with us.

 Thanks very much.

We are still working hard to looking for cause why Ubuntu 16.04 printing
performance slowdown.

Here are some information that may can be helpful for the investigation:

We figure out that "foomatic-rip" is the key object which slowdown
printing performance.

Satistics the time of "foomatic-rip" use by the method of counting the
time from “[Job 691] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip”
to “ [Job 691] PID 11751 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) exited with
no errors.”

Title:
  Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04LTS
  OS Version:   16.04.5
  CUPS Version: 2.1.3
  Ghostscript Version:  9.25 (2018-09-13)

  Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

  We(RICOH printer driver developer) are report a problem from our printer 
users:
  I print file Ubuntu 14.04.5, CUPS 2.1.3,Ghostscript 9.25 is fast(12 Seconds).

  But, after I update to Ubuntu 16.04, CUPS 2.1.3, Ghostscript 9.25, I
  print the same file with the same driver is slow(326 Seconds).

  I figure out that all the print jobs is much slower on Ubuntu 16.04.

  I view the "CUPS Error Log",   it shows that there are three points
  which maybe the reasons that makes the print job slowly.

  
  FIRST:
  
  By counting the time from "Starting renderer" to "renderer exited with status 
0", we figure out that 16.04 spend more time than 14.04 on "renderer" process.
  So we assuming that:"renderer" is one of the key process that makes the print 
job slowly.

  "Starting renderer with command: \"printf \'\\033%%-12345X@PJL 
JOB\\012\';printf \'@PJL SET DATAMODE=TWIN\\  @PJL 
EOJ\\012\\033%%-12345X\'\""
  .
  renderer exited with status 0"
  


  SECOND:
  
  On 16.04, a print job outputs lots of logs as below:
  "[Job xxx] Removing document files."

  This step(“Removing document files”)does not exsit on 14.04.
  

  
  The phenomenon that print jobs slower in 16.04 is more obvious when printing 
many jobs in the same time.

  THIRD
  We tried drivers form other company(HP,Brother…), the printings also slow 
down in Ubuntu 16.04 than 14.04.

  Our question is:
  1. Do you have any plan to improve the performance of printing on Ubuntu 
16.04?
  2. Do you have any workaround before this problems fixed?

2018-12-27 Thread William.Yeung
Dear Till,
  I'am very sorry to bother you again.

We are still working hard to looking for cause why Ubuntu 16.04 printing
performance slowdown.

We doing the investigation whether GhostScript slowdown the printing
performance with GhostScript Developer. But they figure out that
GhostScript affected very small.

we use the below command to test many version ghostscript's printing 
performance on Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 14.04.
"./gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE  -sDEVICE=pxlcolor 
-r600x600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=/dev/null sample.pdf"

We think that CUPS may be the key to slowdown the printing performance.

Below is our research on CUPS process:
1.  We use a script tool (print_sample.sh) to simulate printing many jobs 
(10 and 20) in the one time.
2.  Satistics the print time of each print round jobs by the method of 
counting the time from “Adding start banner page "none".” To “Job completed.”

The result (test_cases_detail_times.xlsx) shows that Ubuntu 16.04 cost
almost twice time then Ubuntu 14.04.

We are not able to research deeper why Ubuntu 16.04 slowdown. So we
appreciate that CUPS can do the investigation why 16.04's printing
performance slowdown.

Dear Till,
  I'am very sorry to bother you again.
We are still working hard to looking for cause why Ubuntu 16.04 printing 
performance slowdown.
  We figure out that there are many cause may slowdown the print job.
The other cause than OS may slowdown the print job, and we are working on those 
cause’s investigation.
Here are some slowdown point about OS issues that we can't investigation 
deeper, we hope that you(or your team) can offer a help for the investigation.

  The phenomenon that print jobs slower in 16.04 is more obvious when 
printing many single page jobs in the same time. 
We use a printing manual to simulate the continuous printing. The printing 
result shows that Ubuntu 16.04 is slower than 14.04.

Below is the printing time:

Ubuntu 14.04:
Round 1: 12.86(s)
Round 2: 12.56(s)
Aver: 12.73(s)

Ubuntu 16.04:
Round 1: 14.09(s)
Round 2: 13.98(s)
Aver: 14.29(s)

By the way, the printing performance is unstable, some times the

Ubuntu 16.04 is slower all the time.

Dear Till,
  Thanks for your investigation of this problem.

  Below are the information we found maybe helpful for the investigation:
  As we said before:"The phenomenon that print jobs slower in 16.04 is more 
obvious when printing many jobs in the same time."
We figure out that the interval time of one print job to the next print job is 
huge when print many jobs in the same time.
  And the error_log files shows that the step below takes time , this step is 
only exist in 16.04:
"Expiring subscriptions..."

   By the way, we did the ghostscript investigation of you advice, but we

2018-11-12 Thread Till Kamppeter
I have looked into the error_log files and the processing by the filters
on 16.04 takes ~20 seconds and on 14.04 less time. The 326 seconds you
observe on 16.04 is caused by the printer's processing of the PostScript
it receives. The PostScript is generated by Ghostscript (you find the
Ghostscript command lines used in the error_log files).

So it seems that the newer Ghostscript version used by 16.04 is
processed much slower by your printer than the PostScript of 14.04's
Ghostscript version.

Next thing you should investigate is to directly run the Ghostscript
command lines with your file in a terminal window, once on 14.04 and
once on 16.04. Send the resulting files directly to the printer ("lp -d
... -o raw ..." or "nc -w1  9100 < ".) If you get the same
time difference, please post a bug report on Ghostscript,
http://www.ghostscript.org/.

Dear,
Our user have huge printing job to do in the next week(November 20). So, they 
are eagerly want to know that can we offer them an workaround(an fixed solution 
would be best) for this slowdown problem.

We(RICOH printer driver developer) are still working hard to looking for an 
workaround to make sure our printer user can do their job normally before your 
official solution.
We appreciate that you can private it to us if you have one.

We hope that offer us the approximate time that Ubuntu fixed this
problem.

If possible can you share the investigation so far with us.

Title:
  Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04LTS
  OS Version:   16.04.5
  CUPS Version: 2.1.3
  Ghostscript Version:  9.25 (2018-09-13)

  Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

  We(RICOH printer driver developer) are report a problem from our printer 
users:
  I print file Ubuntu 14.04.5, CUPS 2.1.3,Ghostscript 9.25 is fast(12 Seconds).

  But, after I update to Ubuntu 16.04, CUPS 2.1.3, Ghostscript 9.25, I
  print the same file with the same driver is slow(326 Seconds).

  I figure out that all the print jobs is much slower on Ubuntu 16.04.

  I view the "CUPS Error Log",   it shows that there are three points
  which maybe the reasons that makes the print job slowly.

  
  FIRST:
  
  By counting the time from "Starting renderer" to "renderer exited with status 
0", we figure out that 16.04 spend more time than 14.04 on "renderer" process.
  So we assuming that:"renderer" is one of the key process that makes the print 
job slowly.

  "Starting renderer with command: \"printf \'\\033%%-12345X@PJL 
JOB\\012\';printf \'@PJL SET DATAMODE=TWIN\\  @PJL 
EOJ\\012\\033%%-12345X\'\""
  .
  renderer exited with status 0"
  


  SECOND:
  
  On 16.04, a print job outputs lots of logs as below:
  "[Job xxx] Removing document files."

  This step(“Removing document files”)does not exsit on 14.04.
  

  
  The phenomenon that print jobs slower in 16.04 is more obvious when printing 
many jobs in the same time.

  THIRD
  We tried drivers form other company(HP,Brother…), the printings also slow 
down in Ubuntu 16.04 than 14.04.

  Our question is:
  1. Do you have any plan to improve the performance of printing on Ubuntu 
16.04?
  2. Do you have any workaround before this problems fixed?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1801496] Re: Printing job in 16.04 is slower than in 14.04

2018-11-08 Thread Till Kamppeter
To find out about the slowing down I need some more information:

Please attach one or more files which you have printed and where you
have observed the slowdown.

Also post error_log files (in debug mode, see "CUPS error_log" section
of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems) of jobs on 14.04
(without slowdown) and the same jobs on 16.04 (with slowdown), so that I
can see the difference.

Also tell which version of cups-filters was used on 14.04 and 16.04 in
your case.

2018-11-07 Thread William.Yeung
We are reported that users(who are affect by this problem ) can't do
their job normally. Such as, doctors' consulting speed are seriously
delay by the medical diagnostic document printing speed.

We(RICOH printer driver developer) are still working hard to looking for an 
workaround to make sure our printer user can do their job normally before your 
official release.
We appreciate that you can private it to us if you have one.

By the way, more and more our printer driver users are affect by this
problem.

So, we are eagerly want to know that if Ubuntu is on the process of dealing 
with this problem?
Can you offer us the approximate time that Ubuntu fixed this problem?
