Still hangs, using today's proposed foomatic-filters (4.0.3-ubuntu2).

[Bug 488710] Re: file won't print using any method
The never-ending story here is the cpdftocps CUPS filter according to your error_log and this filter turns the incoming PDF into PostScript with the help of Poppler's pdftops command line utility. So I tried to convert your file directly at the command line, using pdftops cesifo1_wp1249-1.pdf which takes a very long time using 100% CPU. During that time there is no even data stream, the output file, growing to a final size of around 4 MB, hangs for a long time on 2.2 MB. Perhaps the printer times out the connection while not receiving data for several minutes. XPDF probably habgs on the same problem as pdftops as both XPDF and Poppler use the same code for rendering, and printing out of XPDF is terning the PDF to PostScript as running pdftops is. To see whether the process is really infinite for you or simply too slow so that the printer perhaps drops the connection, try the following: Clean the queue with cancel -a and assure that it is enabled by enabling it with systenm-config-printer or via cupsenable queue. Make sure that your CUPS logging is still in debug mode. Check also that no disk partition is full (df -h). Then print the job again, wait until the process seems to hang (observe your error_log). A sson as this happens, run top and see whether there are processes taking all or at least a significant amount of CPU and/or memory. Do ps auxwww| grep process number to obtain the full command lines of these processes. Post the command lines here. Do not kill the print job. Leave it in the queue for at least one night. Perhaps it even finishes and prints after some hours. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- file won't print using any method https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK. I followed these instructions. pdftops indeed takes 100% of CPU.

Re: [Bug 488710] Re: file won't print using any method
Yup, it does print after about 8 minutes.

[Bug 488710] Re: file won't print using any method
I have done a test on simply running pdftops on the command line to convert your file and it takes more than 3 minutes: t...@till:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$ time /usr/bin/pdftops -level2 -origpagesizes cesifo1_wp1249-1.pdf - out.ps real3m10.118s user2m45.060s sys 0m25.020s t...@till:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$ So pdftops (or Poppler/XPDF in general) is too slow on converting this file. So it is a Poppler bug. ** Summary changed: - file won't print using any method + pdftops too slow with certain PDF files ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) = poppler (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Also affects: xpdf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xpdf (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: xpdf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- pdftops too slow with certain PDF files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The error log isn't finished since the cups job just hangs and never gets printed. ** Attachment added: error log with loglevel=Debug http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36108994/error_log -- file won't print using any method https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
