pdftops (version 3.00 of Poppler) is called by the pdftops CUPS filter
in Ubuntu Intrepid and this filter is called by Intrepid'd cpdftocps
filter in the mentioned Ubuntu bug report. In other system
configurations CUPS can also call its pdftops filter directly.

If the input PDF contains a large bitmap (for example when printing a
full-page photo with high resolution), Poppler's pdftops produces the
lines

xpdf begin

114642 array dup /ImData_7_0 exch def

in its PostScript output. This defines an array with 114642 in
PostScript. According to Adobe's specs PostScript only supports arrays
with a maximum number of 65536 elements. So many PostScript interpreters
will crash on this output. GhostScript gives a "/limitcheck" error.

This bug prevents from high-resolution photo printing in many cases,
especially with newer application version which output PDF instead of
PostScript when printing.
