Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates. Ubuntu 10.04 is no longer
supported, it would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently
supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue,
kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect -p cups 588713

Title:
  Lucid: possibly memory leak in CUPS?

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  I tried 2 times to print a PDF (~7 MB = 225 pages) to my HP LaserJet
  5M per evince and with the PCL-driver (not Postscript).

  - The first time (pages 1-225) at some point the PC slows down to a
  crawl with much disk activity until Gnome more or less died. Died
  means Gnome didn't response anymore and I could at some point only see
  the silhouette of the programs that where open... means: I could see
  where my programs have been but could not see their content. From that
  first try I will attach the relevant part from my syslog.

  As I needed the PDF to get printed out and wanted to try to reproduce
  the problem I started...

  - The second time (pages 141-225). This time with the
  "Systemüberwachung" (systemmonitor?) on my desktop so I could see what
  happens to my RAM. I will attach a screenshot which will show the
  slowly growing amount of RAM used while printing. This time syslog
  shows nothing of interesst. Gnome just froze and I had to reboot.

  Maybe interessting details:
  Ubuntu 10.04 64bit
  My PC has 2GB of RAM and 2,3 GB swap.
  The PDF in question is a 7MB monster with a copied dissertation --> means: someone copied the paperpages and put the resulting images in that PDF. I can't upload it as I had to pay for it and I think that the copyright owner would not like to see me uploading his work to launchpad :-)
  The first print job (pages 1-225) was about ~30 MB in size. The second one (pages 141-225) about ~10 MB. At least that was shown to me after clicking on the icon for the print jobs in queue.
  My LaserJet has 22MB RAM in total.
  I tried to print 2 pages from the PDF to one paper page to cut down the paper usage.
