Till, there's definitely more here besides the fact that the 12xx and 13xx series printers from HP are lacking in many respects.
I've got an HP LaserJet 1320n with 144MB RAM that works admirably on Mac OS X, printing whole books in PDF, but fails miserably when I try to print a single page PDF (let alone the same media) with Ubuntu. 'Failing miserably' should be considered either too low performance (as reported by the bug reporter) or no print output whatsoever. So while it is way to easy to dismiss the issue by using printer deficiency as an excuse, I believe this is not just a matter of 'low memory' printers that shouldn't be used as Postscript machines (the PCL PPD is horribly crippled). In my opinion, the problem lies with pstops and pdftops, for they are the only parts of the printing chain that truly differ between OS X and Ubuntu. -- cups print server takes too long to print PDF document to printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597338 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
