I am on Ubuntu 12.04 and experiencing the problem with whatever filter
that has been posted or referenced here. Did not have that problem on
10.04 - tried also with the pdftops filter from there without luck.
Sad...

I can see that 0.20.2 should be the most current. Switched to main server in 
synaptic but still no update.
BTW: I am on 64-bit.

This problem is still present in Precise. I just printed this page.
Cups-pdf took several minutes, spiked one cpu core and finally generated
a 5.9 MB file with the pages rendered as images. The Firefox built-in
pdf printer took a few seconds and generated a 218 KB file with the
pages rendered as text.

Sending a ping regarding this bug. The problem is still existing. Printing over 
the network is terribly slow with larger PDFs or PDFs containing a large 
(scanned) image.
For this bug, it says, there are fixes released, but the bug itself is open. 
When will the fixes be pushed to Ubuntu? Thanks.

Aldi, please see bug 668800 about remaining rendering slowness problems.
This is fixed in the newest version of Ghostscript (which is already
included in Oneiric). See also the appropriate upstream bug
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690475. In addition,
Ghostscript's rendering gets faster by adding -dNOINTERPOLATE to the
Ghostscript command line (see comment in the end of the upstream bug).
In Oneiric this is now done in all printer drivers and print filters
which use Ghostscript, so here overall printing (except native
PostScript printers fed with PostScript jobs) should get significantly
faster.

NoOp, the new Ghostscript version would be a too high impact for an SRU,
but the adding of -dNOINTERPOLATE, at least for very common drivers
and filters would be possible. You could try it out, at least if it is
currently a Ghostscript process which slows down your printing (check
with top). Can you find out which filter (and whether it is Poppler or
Ghostscript) is the culprit for you now?

2011-02-18 Thread zcat
Is this fixed? Less than a month ago I installed 10.04 on a compaq
laptop, printing to a network laser printer (can't recall the model).
Everything fully up to date at the time, but it's printing PDF's at
glacial speed and holding up everyone else's print jobs. Windows users
in the same office have no problems (except when an ubuntu printjob is
blocking them)

It's been a problem for a while, I was hoping a fresh install of 10.04
would fix it, previous laptop was still running 9.10 and also had the
same problem.

If I just update 10.04 will the problem fix itself now? Or should I try
the poppler workaround mentioned earlier?

I use an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04 as well. The problem is still there and 
it is very annoying. Still exactly the problem as zcat described it.
I encounter the problem with a Kyocera FS-3830N and also with an 
KonicaMinolta BizHub C220. All other users in the office are always 
annoyed when I need to print a PDF (e.g. a presentation).

2009-12-06 Thread craigbass76
I still couldn't print well this morning to a networked Brother MFC
7820N, using a plethora of pdf viewers in both Jaunty and Karmic (with
updated related --cups, etc-- packages)

However, I happened across an old forum post where someone with Dapper
used the HP laserjet foomatic driver for this printer instead.  So I
tried it in the Karmic livecd environment and fell out of my chair when
ALL pages of a pdf printed in less than a minute.

Further amazement ensued when the same thing happened to me in Jaunty.
I'm all fixed now.

My symptoms were some of the same described here; slow or no printing of
pdf, printing only one page of a graphics heavy pdf, etc, etc.

I was using the .deb driver from Brother's website.

Daniel, ~/.cups/lpoptions is only created when the printer options are
saved by certain applications, like KDE applications for example. So not
every user has this file.

Do you have any problems, like for example that all jobs get printed 2

Jesse, can you check (and attach) the following files:

/etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/lpoptions
~/.cups/lpoptions

The first file will contain default settings if you change the Job
Options in system-config-printer. The second will be used if you save
options in a printing dialog of an application which is running as root.
The third will be used if you save options in the printing dialog of an
application running as yourself.

I'm not sure if my problem is related to the pdftops filter but it's certainly 
worse than before.
I installed the fix from proposed:
$ sudo apt-get install -t jaunty-proposed cups
and then i added the LJ4000 printer in our office via samba
then i printed the attached postscript file, the result is disastrous: only the 
title, the footnote, and the maths are printer, the text almost completely 
disappeared!

Jesse, I have checked your problem and the files gets broken already by
the pdftopdf filter which is used before pdftops is called. So the
replacement of pdftops will not have caused this problem.

The pdftopdf problem I have reported to the author of the filter.

 I'm actually more concerned about also testing printers which work
 fine in Jaunty. I can help out with a Samsung ML-1610, and I guess
 Till can throw his armada of printers at it which he has at home, but
 we should send out an extra call for testing in blogs and
 ubuntu-devel.

Everyday printing tasks (web pages, short letters, etc.) seem to work
fine on my ancient HP DeskJet 840C with Karmic. I never hit the multiple
page sizes problem, and I never got around to installing Jaunty, so I
can't specifically confirm that those problems are fixed, but FWIW I can
say that everything seems to work at least as well in Karmic as in
Hardy.

 None of the above problems deals with a scanned image or 80-page
document. Is there any additional problem with these kinds of documents
if you actually print them (not print them to PDF)?

I have problems when printing certain pdf-documents that contain big
(scanned) images or have a lot of pages (40+). The printer just prints
only the first 1 or 2 pages and then stops. I can't tell if it's related
to the update that was released a few days ago because i just acuired
these documents and haven't printed them before. But other big
documents weren't a problem before.

If you're interested in debug output and example documents, just tell
me!

(1) (and also bug 229981) seems to be a bug in HP's PostScript
interpreters. It did not occur with my printers (HP LaserJet 3390,
P3005, Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP, probably they are too new). As long as
the printouts come out correctly, simply ignore it.

For (2) not the CUPS package is the culprit but the cups-pdf package
which makes CUPS performing unneeded filter detours. See bug 385709.
This I have fixed in Karmic.

(3) shows that the original issue for which this bug was opened is fixed
for you.

None of the above problems deals with a scanned image or 80-page
document. Is there any additional problem with these kinds of documents
if you actually print them (not print them to PDF)?

2009-06-28 Thread mogliii
Hi,

my report here applies for Ubuntu Jaunty with HP Laserjet 4050 over JetDirect 
(Network). I have the latest packages installed, as explained in this thread:
dpkg -l cups
cups 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - 
server
dpkg -l poppler-utils
poppler-utils0.10.5-1ubuntu2.2PDF utilitites (based on libpoppler)

Following problems:
(1) When I print something, lets assume only text from openoffice, it gets 
printed fine, but a message appears on the printer's display: 40 EIO 1 FEHLERH 
UBERTRAGUNG (I have german printer). I found Bug No 229981 that seems to be 
similar.

(2) I printed the content of a website to .pdf
(http://www.tagesschau.de/schlusslicht/ubahnphilosophie100.html) using
the above mentioned versions of cups and poppler. The file is 900 kb
large. Printing it from Evince generates a 9 MB print job which takes
three minutes to print, but the font is being converted to bitmaps. So
it looks awful (see attached scan). This also happened with an EasyJet
travel itinerary. (no 40 EIO error)

(3) I printed the content of the website directly to the 4050 printer,
went much faster and the fonts are properly printed. (no 40 EIO error)

I still feel that the whole printing thing needs some tweaking. I can
not rely on my Ubuntu to print a scanned A4 page or a 80 page pdf
document. However I can with WinXP. I hope this will be fixed.

The problem is in Poppler. The fix I have done in Poppler to allow
documents with pages of different sizes sets the page size in each page
header. Setting the page size resets the duplex to print on the front
side and so it gets never printed on back sides. I have fixed this by
checking whether the current page size is different to the size of the
previous page and only add a page size request to pages with a new size
now.

2009-06-21 Thread Lennart Jütte
I'm running Jaunty and already added the proposed repository. A Kyocera
Mita FS-1030D is attached to the system.

Before adding the new repo everything printed out fine from a Windows
Vista machine printing over samba. My MacBook running OS X 10.5 and cups
1.3.10 needed a few minutes per page that contained graphics.

After updating (i think cups and poppler were updated) everything prints fast, 
but i can't print two sided documents from my MacBook. The problem: 
Usually my printer prints on the first side, then pulls the sheet back in and 
prints the second side. Now it pulls the sheet back in but leaves the second 
page empty. The second page is printed on another sheet. Same procedure here, 
only one side gets in touch with some toner.
The Windows machine prints fine... grrr!

Additionally the background (light blue) on the Mac-printout was messed
up. It consisted of little grey boxes. I'll try to attach some pictures.

The error log contains the output for the printout of the slides and a
printout of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems . Both
done from my OS X machine.

2009-06-21 Thread Till Kamppeter
Duplex problem is mainly that the sides=... option supplied to CUPS
does not get picked up. But this is not a pdftops problem where this bug
is about. padtops was never resonsible to pick up the sides=...
option. So the duplexz should have probably already failed with the old
Ghostscript-based pdftops filter.

The background of the document is a really bad design which shouts for
interferences both on the screen and on the printout. The blue
background is a very fine blue and white chessboard structure and the
yellow background are as fine little yellow squares on white. If you
display the original file on the screen you see already the ugly
interferences and every time new ones if you zoom into the document. The
actual square patterns you will see with gv (install it from Universe).
Open the original PDF with gv and then drag a small square with the
middle mouse button and after that choose 64 in the menu, for 64 times
magnification. Do this operation again in the magnified view to get
64*64 times magnification. Then you see the squares.

This structure stays perfectly conserved, when you turn the PDF into
PostScript with Poppler

pdftops 00\ -\ Ziele_Inhalt_Literatur_VIS_Master.pdf

and this PostScript goes to the printer, causing a new interference,
different to the ones which you have seen on the screen. I have done
also a quick test with Ghostscript (much slower):

pdf2ps 00\ -\ Ziele_Inhalt_Literatur_VIS_Master.pdf

and the background is also perfectly conserved. So I can expect
interferences on my printout, too. Perhaps the old Ghostscript-based
pdftops turned everything into raster graphics and so blurred the
background somehow and this way made this file print more nicely.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept a filter working this way, as otherwise
users of print-into-PDF(SVG, PS)-file printers or users of large-format
printers (sending A4 pages with the fitplot option) will complain.

There is an regression: I printed a PDF two-sided (duplex) with two
pages per side. The PDF with 3 pages should printed on one paper, but
instead the back side of the paper stayed white and the page 3 is
printed on a second page. The printer pulled the paper back like it does
it when it prints in duplex.

[Bug 382379] Re: pdftops CUPS filter has several problems

2009-06-15 Thread Till Kamppeter
NoOp, Hardy had a completely different workflow, here Inkscape produced
PostScript, CUPS did page management on PostScript and then cups-pdf
turned the PostScript to PDF with Ghostscript. Ghostscript's pdfwrite
output device does not turn text characters into bitmaps.

From Intrepid on, the printing workflow is PDF-centric. Applications are
supposed to send PDF to CUPS, like many applications including Inkscape
do, and CUPS to do the page management on PDF. The pdftops filter of
CUPS is primarily a PostScript printer driver in this scenario, but also
a fallback if some printer driver is not adapted to the new workflow,
like cups-pdf.

Most printer drivers are raster drivers, and printed paper you cannot
magnify arbitrarily. So there the rasterization of the document by the
pdftops driver is no big problem. cups-pdf plays a special role as it is
a vector driver creating PDFs for screen view, with the option of
arbitrary magnification. The best output quality you get here if you
avoid unneeded conversions. Therefore I have reported bug 385709 where I
suggest simple changes in cups-pdf to accept PDF directly to avoid
conversion to PostScript and back to PDF.

cups-pdf is also not necessarily needed nowadays, as most applications
(at least all KDE and GNOME applications, and also OpenOffice.org) can
generate PDF without a special CUPS queue, either via Print to file or
via Export as PDF. Therefore cups-pdf was already demoted to Universe
and not shipped on the CDs any more.

NoOp, can you post the original SVG file, so that I can do some testing
with it? Thanks.

Can you also try with Intrepid (Live CD, other machine) whether the
problem was already there? Do not replace Intrepid's pdftops filter for
that test. Can you also test with Jaunty without filter replacement
(sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups) to check which is worse,
Intrepid or Jaunty. This information we need to see whether we can do a
Stable Release Update (SRU, backport of this fix to Jaunty) in Jaunty,

The bad quality can also be caused by cups-pdf. The fix of bug 385709
would be the solution then.

2009-06-14 Thread Till Kamppeter
The problem is Poppler's pdftops filter. It turns the PDF file which was
generated by inkscape and sent to CUPS to a graphics-only PostScript
file. Seems to be an upstream bug of Poppler. Usually Poppler conserves
the text when converting PDF to PostScript (at least it did so with PDFs
coming from other applications and PDFs which CUPS generated from
PostScript files with Ghostscript).

The best and easiest solution for your situation would be the fix of bug
385709 so that PDF files do not get converted to PostScript and back to
PDF when cups-pdf is used. For now you should always use the PDF
generation facility inside the applications and use the PDF printer only
for applications which do not have PDF export functionality by
themselves.

According to the source code of Poppler's PostScript output facility
pages get rasterized at 300 dpi if they use transparency. Does your
drawing use transparency?

As PostScript by itself does not support transparency, we need a PDF
printing workflow which is as complete as possible. Drivers should be
designed to accept PDF (most printer drivers do, as they use
Ghostscript). Conversion from PDF to PostScript should be avoided, it
should only be done to print on PostScript printers.

Sorry... I think that is not the problem.

I brought up hardy on a test machine using the liveCD, installed
Inkscape: 'sudo apt-get install inkscape'  (again this is a liveCD
session - nothing installed to the hard drive), copy over the
Example_testfile.svg file from this machine, opened it in Inkscape,
selected File|Print, selected the automatically installed cups-pdf
printer that is installed with the liveCD, made zero adjustments to the
settings, printed to PDF, and the result is a proper PDF. See the
attached.

I'll have to download an burn an intrepid liveCD as I only have an
intrepid alternate CD. I have an intrepid hard drive in the box
somewhere, but prefer to try from the liveCD so that any previous users
settings do not affect the test.

While I'd love to report that all is well (see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382379), I think that there are still
serious issues. (Sorry Till, but you'd ask that we test).

Attached are three test files of an svg drawing with text:

1. Example_printwcups.pdf is printed to pdf via cups  Till's latest pdftops. 
2. Example_savedfromInkscape.pdf is a pdf using 'save as' Inkscape pdf (using 
cairo).
3. Example_printtofile.pdf is the same svg using print to file.

Note that #1 is 97.4Kb and prints to pdf only as a graphic (no fonts, no text). 
#2 is 23.2Kb and embeds the Arial text font and the dejavusansbold font for the 
numbers on the graphic.
#3 is 23.6Kb and also properly embeds the fonts. 

Also notice the graphic qualities in #1 vs #23; the lines do not render
clean (jags)  is most apparent on the green lines.

Please test the current Karmic, especially regarding the problems
mentioned below. They all should have gone. Please report your success
and/or problems here.

Confirmed that the Poppler-based pdftops CUPS filter fixes the following
bugs:

bug 377011: Cannot print documents to Laserjet 4350, via network
bug 362186: Spurious lines on print outs
bug 289852: intrepid: printing very slow(at least partially)
bug 381788: [jaunty] cups-pdf no longer embeds fonts in pdf file
bug 372166: No output when printing in Ubuntu 9.04
bug 361772: black squares appearing instead of some letters when printing

This I have fixed in Poppler:

bug 335397: Poppler's pdftops fails to convert a PDF file to PostScript

This I have fixed/worked around by patching the pdftops CUPS filter to
never let Poppler generate PostScript level 3:

bug 277404: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some
characters

This does not need to be done any more, I have fixed Poppler
appropriately:

bug 329991: Poppler's pdftops does not support multiple-page-size
output, use Ghostscript for the CUPS filter instead

For this bug I have no information about its current state, neither
whether any GhostScript-based pdftops filter solves it nor whether the
new Poppler-based one or any change in Poppler fixes it. Please test.

bug 293832: (Brother PostScript) printer prints page at wrong position,

[Bug 382379] Re: pdftops CUPS filter has several problems

2009-06-10 Thread Till Kamppeter
The needed CUPS patches are now uploaded to the BZR repository at Debian
and soon a package for Karmic will be uploaded. The new Poppler package
is already available for Karmic.

For the time being please keep on testing with my pdftops test script
and report everything what you observe. Also everyone who reads this bug
report without being affected by the mentioned problems is encouraged to
test my pdftops filter or the upcoming Karmic package of CUPS.

The next step will be an SRU (Stable Release Update) of Jaunty's Poppler
and CUPS packages, so that the problems get solved for Jaunty users.

2009-06-10 Thread Till Kamppeter
Attached is my Poppler-based pdftops CUPS filter. This filter is a shell
script which is equivalent in functionality with the pdftops filter of
the upcoming CUPS package for Karmic.

Everyone, please test with this filter whether the Poppler-based pdftops
filter solves your problems. Report any problem here and in the case of
a problem, please attach an error_log following the instructions in the
CUPS error_log section of

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems

To install the attached filter on your system, download the file and
replace your /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops file by it. Make sure that the
new file is executable, run the command

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops

if needed.

Should this break printing for you and you need to print urgently, run
the command

sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups

to get back to the previous configuration.

If printing works for you with my filter, DO NOT reinstall CUPS, we need
as much testing as possible.

Here is an updated debdiff with the improved patch as also attached to
the upstream bug report. In addition, each page gets a
%%PageBoundingBox: comment now, so that CUPS' pstops filter does not add
its own %%PageBoundingBox: comment with the PPD default page size to
each page header.
