Now printing the googlemap.pdf test file causes an "out of memory" error on the printer after 20-30 seconds. That's an improvement over just silently doing nothing at all, I guess.
This is after doing: lpadmin -p HP3030_Postscript -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops # the real printer queue restart cups I also tried pdf2ps -dLanguageLevel=2 googlemap.pdf test.ps The resulting file begins with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 despite the -dLanguageLevel=2 option I then tried lpr -oraw test.ps and the the printer stalled for a looooooong time (at least 3 minutes) with the light blinking, then printed a completely blank page. Again, this same googlemap.pdf prints in 2-3 seconds using gutenprint or pcl3 drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
