Adrian, getting 978KB PostScript output out of 400KB PDF input is normal. PDF is more compact than PostScript. So Ghostscript, Poppler, or any other filter in the chain behave correctly. So there is no problem any more on the CUPS/Ghostscript/Poppler/filter side for you any more. Also the 400kB in

Till, that is exactly what I did. As I said the PS print job size sent to my PS printer is 978KB. Comment 18 also contains the captured PDF print job which is 400KB. If you have any evidence of cairo blowing up images to be 500x the original image, please file a bug at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/

I tried printing the jpeg file attached with eog and a 978KB PS file is sent to my printer. So it is more likely that ghostscript is causing the huge file sizes. Also, cairo versions >= 1.10 support embedding compressed jpeg images in the PS/PDF output. But I'm not aware of any applications using

As far as I know improvements on Cairo have been done, but I do not remember when they were done, whether they were before or after September 2010. But the improvements in Ghostscript 9.04 should have made Ghostscript coping much better with bad-quality PDF input than the Ghostscript of 11.04. So i

Till, following our conversation back in September 2010 (see duplicate bug, #597338), there are multiple issues with printing on Ubuntu that persist in 11.04; some may have to do with Ghostscript, but the vast majority of issues that I have experienced were (and remain) cairo related, not Ghostscri

Several improvements were done on the Ghostscript as it ships with Oneiric (version 9.04). Please try an Oneiric live CD (Alpha 3) and check whether the situation improved. Tell your experience here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribe
