Package: cups
Version: 1.5.2-8
Severity: important

There is similar problem repoerted, but do not know how releated.

On my CUPS server (Pentium 3 700MHz, with 512MB of RAM),
any documents (like pdf, odf, web page in epiphany or firefox),
takes like 5 minutes to print first page. On CUPS server a 'gs'
process is taking 100% CPU and always about 200-213MB of RAM.

root@romeo:~# ps aux | grep gs
lp       12364  0.0  0.2   4560  1072 ?        S    19:17   0:00 /bin/bash -c

-dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOINTERPOLATE /var/spool/cups/tmp/foomatic-H1Rke7
#

First page takes 5 minutes, but each next page from same pdf
documents take like 15 seconds.

It is really annoying, to wait 1 hour to print 10 pages!

A server is on wheezy (testing), i386. There was no problems on squeezy -
printing was starting in maybe 10-20 seconds, depending on comlexity of
document.


Thanks.

This report was filed against a version of cups-filters/cups which is no
longer supported. There have been quite a number of significant changes
in both packages since then and it is quite possible the issue was fixed
by one or more of them. Testing with the present testing/stable would be
advisable. Note that one aspect of the filtering which can be altered is
the renderer. Please submit a new report if the problem remains.

Cheers,
