Correction: I get 303 Mb output (data which would go to the printer) with pdftops (the default) on my test queue. If I switch to pdftocairo, I get a 2 Mb file output and the simple PDF prints much quickly.
I have to do more tests since THIS sample file prints faster with pdftocairo but others don't... It seems that passing the LanguageLevel (in PPD) to "2" also helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476705 Title: postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1476705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
