I tried printing the jpeg file attached with eog and a 978KB PS file is sent to my printer. So it is more likely that ghostscript is causing the huge file sizes.
Also, cairo versions >= 1.10 support embedding compressed jpeg images in the PS/PDF output. But I'm not aware of any applications using this API. eog obviously is not using it otherwise the print job size would be a lot closer to the jpeg file size. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675863 Title: Too large amounts of data sent when printing images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/675863/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
