I have found out what is happening here: The pdftops filter is not able to find out what the printing resolution for this job is, due to no "Resolution" option in the PPD and also no PostScript commands for setting the device resolution in any other options in the PPD. This leads to the wrong assumtion of a 100-dpi resolution. I have done an upstream change now to make the fallback in such a situation being 300 dpi, as it was originally intended.
This will soon be made available as an update, after checking whether there are perhaps other bugs to fix in the cups-filters package. ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => cups-filters (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => precise-updates ** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984082 Title: Evince produces low-res, pixelated output when printing PDF's To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/984082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
