I think I experienced that problem today with `cups` 1.5.2-11 and
cups-filter 1.0.16-2 and 1.0.18-1.

Although when printed to PDF from the GNOME printing dialog the file
with the image is just 400 kB big, the print job took forever. Looking
at the system usage (`htop`, `ps aux | grep gs`), the Ghostscript
process used 100 % of the CPU.

        lp       10573 97.0 28.6 571132 556080 ?       R    13:54   0:29 gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=ps2write -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout -dLanguageLevel=3 -r1200 -dCompressFonts=false -dNoT3CCITT -c save pop -f /var/spool/cups/tmp/0294a4fc179a1

Do you still experience this problem or is this fixed for you and I
should open a separate report?


Thanks,

Paul


PS: Anders and Brian, next time you follow up on a bug report, please
use `bts show --mbox 662780` and import the message to your mail
program. That way the threading is kept. `bts` is packaged in
`devscripts`. That would be awesome.
