Public bug reported:

My OS:
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release:        20.04

Package version: cups-filters version 1.27.4-1

When I try to print djvu files on my Xerox WorkCentre 3210 gstoraster filter, 
which calls ghostscript inside runs to long while converting djvu files to 
Xerox`s 3210 format.
E.x.: For 155 pages of djvu files, it runs more then 15 minutes.

I found a solution by adding -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS params to 
ghostscript command inside gstoraster filter. Now the time of converting the 
same file is about 30 seconds.
I`ve made patch which solves this problem.
