I have uploaded a fixed cups-filters package to precise-proposed now.
Please test the package as soon as it gets available for download and
give feedback here. This is required to make the new package an official
update for Precise. Another comment with testing instructions will get
posted here.
With the new package you can also test the behavior when switching
between use of Poppler and Ghostscript for turning PDF to PosdtScript
and changing the resolution limit for image rendering. Especially if the
output quality with the new package is still not satisfying you should
do the tests and tell here in the bug report which is the best
compromise between speed and quality.
Run the following commands in a terminal window for switching between
Ghostscript and Poppler:
lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs
lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops
and
lpadmin -p printer -R pdftops-renderer-default
to remove the setting. To change the resolution limit (in dpi, current
setting is 360) run a command like
lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-max-image-resolution-default=1440
and set unlimited resolution via
lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-max-image-resolution-default=0
or remove your setting with
lpadmin -p <printer> -R pdftops-max-image-resolution-default
Always replace "<printer>" by your printer's queue name (enter "lpstat
-v" to find your printer's queue name).
