I have the same problem. This happens with any application. For example, if I just try to print from Firefox an HTML page with just a line of text on it. To demonstrate the problem: # cupsdisable pdf - print a simple html text-only page on the pdf printer from Firefox - get the spool file from the /var/spool/cups: it's a PDF file which looks perfect (first attachment) # cupsenable pdf - get the file from the ~/PDF directory: it's a bigger PDF file with no text information and jagged font appearance (second attachment) This apparently has to do with the old problem of cups-pdf converting PDF to PS and back to PDF. I have an old Ubuntu Lucid installation where the problem does not exist. -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39.050.621.3058 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 via G.
