The change especially eliminates PostScript to be turned That's the theory.

But then customers complained that they could not print PDF files, they sometimes would only print half, sometimes it took very, very long. (I'm not sure if they would also crash the printer) So that's why we also set the pdftops cost to 43. So: only setting pstops to 65 does not solve the issue. My feeling is that there's a problem within the filtering, one that's not easy to spot but that pops up with the pstopdf stuff. > SRU.

It's only a couple of printers that crash, in live situations, with print servers at customer premises. So it's a bit hard to check. I'll see what I can do. Our own HP Laserjet doesn't crash, that's the main problem ;-) V. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691130 Title: PDF workflow flawed, crashes printers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
