Till Kamppeter, thanks for checking into this. I just wanted to add a few data points to this issue.
In both Trusty and Vivid, printing to file (PS) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/525161/+attachment/4284552/+files/Grammar%204.djvu took a few seconds. However, in Vivid the conversion of this PS file to PDF via either Evince or ps2pdf took ~2 hours. In Vista, if one takes this resultant PDF from Vivid and prints to XPS via Adobe Reader X, that takes ~10 minutes. In Trusty, If one opens the resultant PDF in Evince and attempts to print to file (PDF) the preparing to print message took minutes to make 1 page of progress. However, it ultimately finished within 10 minutes. Overall, given the resultant PDF is so massive for a PDF (100MB+) it's not a shocker it's taking so long to permute through all these different printing methods. Hence, it may be helpful to finely scope this issue to either physical printer (and further to specific printer mfg.+model), or one conversation hop printing to file, e.g. ps to PDF, or how djvu to ps filesize goes from 6.5MB to ~62MB (if that's even a bug, as I'm not aware of the spec details). Scoping this report to printing to file allows a wider testing audience, saves on wasted printing paper, may more finely focus the issue to something more manageable for a developer, etc. However, I defer to your opinion on printing issues.
