bruno, if you print a JPEG photo out of a photo application, like
shotwell, f-spot, eog, ... it will be converted to PDF and the PDF will
get semnt to CUPS. For GNOME apps this process is done by Cairo. The
problems appear especially with Cairo-generated PDF with embedded JPEG
images, which photo applications most probably send.

Which photo application are you using?

Print output of GNOME applications is usually done by libcairo. Poppler
does not create PDF, it reads PDF and converts it to other formats, or
it manipulates PDF, like in the pdftopdf CUPS filter. The libcairo-
generated PDF has several problems with efficiency, so that PDF
interpreters (Ghostscript, Adobe Reader, Poppler) take ages to do their
job or crash due to running out of memory.
