Probably your printer has not enough memory to be used as an allround PostScript printer (like the HP LaserJet 1200/1300). The windows drivers most probably send PCL 5e data to the printer, like Gutenprint, HPLIP/HPIJS/hpcups, ... do. So I recommend you to set up this printer in PCL mode, best with an hpcups driver.
Moving to system-config-printer, fddor adding a new quirk rule to select a PCL driver for this printer. ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => system-config-printer (Ubuntu) -- 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/system-config-printer/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
