Till, thanks for that. I have downloaded the Lucid Alpha nightly desktop ISO build from Jan 28th and installed it. (This has taken a while because this is unstable on my PC - the graphical session keeps hanging)
I printed out the attached PDF to a Samsung CLP-300 (using monochrome, double-sided printing) and timed the process until page 1 & 3 have been printed. At this time the CPU drops, and the printer is ready for pages 2 & 4. Karmic (fully patched) - 2 minutes, 45 seconds Lucid (Alpha - 28th Jan nightly build) - 3 minutes That is, the problem is not fixed in Lucid for me. ** Attachment added: "PDF file for testing" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38542617/Lab01.pdf -- Process 'gs' begins taking 100% CPU and loading up vast amounts of RAM on CUPS restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
