Title:
  PDF printing from Evince through CUPS is very slow, sometimes fails

Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
