DIS-confirmed. Using the foomatic/Postscript driver, text files and the CUPS test page printed correctly, but when I tried to print a Google Maps map of San Francisco (per the original bug description), a job was sent to the printer which never printed. The activity light flashed for about 10 seconds while the printer displayed "Printing document" (as is normal), then the printer returned to idle state without printing anything.
The exact same map prints correctly using either the "CUPS+Gutenprint V5.29" driver or the "HP LaserJet 3030 pcl3 hpcups 3.13.3" driver. The job-which-prints-nothing is odd. It is as if the driver sent corrupted Postscript, e.g. with no "showpage" at the end, or else encoded the image in a way which silently exceeded the memory on my older printer (an HP LaserJet 3030 mfp). Normally the printer displays an error message on its panel if memory is exhausted, and you have to press a button to continue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095498 Title: Printing PDFs with images is hideously slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1095498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
