Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-2 Severity: grave Dear Debian folks, printing takes longer than expected. Instead of several seconds to process the job it takes several minutes until the printer starts to print. This seems to be related to Ghostscript. $ more /var/log/cups/error_log […] D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Options from the PPD file: D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Pondering option 'InputSlot=Default' D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Pondering option 'Quality=FromPrintoutMode' D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Pondering option 'PageSize=A4' D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Pondering option 'PrintoutMode=Draft' D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] Pondering option 'Duplex=None' D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] ================================================ D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] File: <STDIN> D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] ================================================ D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] [Job 1238] D [22/Jul/2012:18:13:33 +0200] PID 14271 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf) exited with no errors.

This report concerns a now unsupported Debian and there have since been many changes in the printing system. Hence, I am closing it. Regards, Brian.
