Resolved this issue by lowering and creating custom DPI values. Default DPI from foomatic postcript PPDs is usually 600 DPI or 1200 DPI. Ghostscript `pdftops` and `gs` both take a long time converting high DPI values. The 600 DPI also creates a large postscript file which in turn are slow over th

I am experiencing the same problem when printing pdf files. My workaround: Use evince to "Print to File" and select "Output format: Postscript". Open the postscript file again with evince and print from there. -- pdftops too slow with certain PDF files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488710 You

ottadini, can you attach the PDF files to this bug report? How did you print your PDFs? From evince? From Adobe Reader? Directly ("lpr file.pdf")? try different PDF viewers and also direct printing to see whether the situation improves. -- pdftops too slow with certain PDF files https://bugs.lau
