When printing a PDF document from Evince using a CUPS defined printer,
printing the document takes very long (up to 30 minutes). The
ghostscript process runs at 100% CPUTIME.

Here is the captures ghostscript command of one of the print test :

gs -dFirstPage=1 -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pxlmono
-r600x600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- /var/spool/cups/tmp/foomatic-
AA6FvH

This is the only evidence that ghostscript is responsible for the
problem. Backporting the cups-1.4.5.3 would remove gs out of the
equation, hopefully fixing the problem.

Reproducible: 100%

Workaround:

Use the acroread PDF viewer which does not show this problem

Request:

PDF conversions using ghostscripts have been identified by previous bugs
(LP#668800 ) and have been fixed in cups 1.4.5.3 by using poppler
instead of ghostscript. We believe that a backport of the solution
already present in Maverick/Natty to Lucid might solve the problem
