Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
Previously, I've always been able to print PDFs from the command line.
However, after the latest update on 9.04, I can nolonger print pdfs.
If I try 'lpr xxx.pdf', My memory usage shoots to the roof.
Running 'top' show the culprit to be 'pdftopdf' .
I watched it climb to over 2GB memory usage while trying to print a 1mb pdf file.
The same pdf prints perfectly on one of my 8.04 servers.
I'm fairly certain this worked before the last cups update, but I'm not sure. I might not have been successful ever in 9.04. I know I was able to print in 8.10.
cups:
Installed: 1.3.9-17ubuntu3
Candidate: 1.3.9-17ubuntu3

Edit: downgraded cups, still have the issue. Further investigation makes me think its a 'poppler' issue.

As we do not get the same complaint from other users it probably depends much on which files you try to print. So can you please attach typical files with which the problem occurs?
