I was having the same symptoms and discovered the problem was the driver I had CUPS set to use.
I had setup the cups-pdf printer using the Generic->Postscript printer driver. The problem with that was that cups was first calling ghostscript to convert whatever input it received into postscript, and would then pass the postscript to the cups-pdf filter. The first call to ghostscript however, would convert all text to images, before it even got to the pdf creation stage. The solution for me was to change the driver to RAW. This will most likely fail if you print anything other than postscript to it, but is not a problem for me as I'm calling it via Samba with the windows driver set to Apple Laserwriter PS I think this is new behavior in CUPS, as it used to leave the input alone if it was already postscript. -- [jaunty] cups-pdf no longer embeds fonts in pdf file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381788 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
