Till Kamppeter, thanks for checking into this.

I just wanted to add a few data points to this issue.

In both Trusty and Vivid, printing to file (PS)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/525161/+attachment/4284552/+files/Grammar%204.djvu
took a few seconds.

However, in Vivid the conversion of this PS file to PDF via either
Evince or ps2pdf took ~2 hours.

In Vista, if one takes this resultant PDF from Vivid and prints to XPS
via Adobe Reader X, that takes ~10 minutes.

In Trusty, If one opens the resultant PDF in Evince and attempts to
print to file (PDF) the preparing to print message took minutes to make
1 page of progress. However, it ultimately finished within 10 minutes.

Overall, given the resultant PDF is so massive for a PDF (100MB+) it's
not a shocker it's taking so long to permute through all these different
printing methods.

Hence, it may be helpful to finely scope this issue to either physical
printer (and further to specific printer mfg.+model), or one
conversation hop printing to file, e.g. ps to PDF, or how djvu to ps
filesize goes from 6.5MB to ~62MB (if that's even a bug, as I'm not
aware of the spec details). Scoping this report to printing to file
allows a wider testing audience, saves on wasted printing paper, may
more finely focus the issue to something more manageable for a
developer, etc. However, I defer to your opinion on printing issues.

What do you think?
