This same bug was reported 2 weeks earlier as bug # 474962. There they reported it as printing 6 CPI (47/80=.875). This report is much more thorough. It still does not get at the fundamental problem which is why is a rasterizer being called at all for printers such as my Lexmark or the Brother a

The font width problem has been reported as bug # 474962 and as bug # 485665. One place focuses on the number of chars per line, while the other one focuses on the char width. It looks like someone has put a duplicate bug notice on 474962, but there is not yet one up on 485665. I just refreshed

I was able to install the above update. The presence of /etc/apt/preferences with a priority of 400 was, I believe, causing synaptic to hide it. I may also have been confused about the package name. I was looking for cups1.4.2-7, but the ubuntu number still starts out as 1.4.1-5Ubuntu2.2. Once
