Binary package hint: cups
Hello,
For printing a image of small size, say, about 150 KB, more than 50 MB data are sent to the network printer (a Cannon C2550). This blocked all the other printing tasks in the queue, and is really a big trouble for me. Now I have to ask some colleague using Windows to print Google map for me. This problem only happens for image (e.g., .jpg), and for PDF file or open office file, there is no such problem.
It is Ubuntu 10.10, upgraded from 8.10 continuously. If I remember, I think I started to suffered this problem since 9.10. Hereafter is the CPUS pacakges. Please let me know if you need more information to identify the problem. Just tell me how to do it, I would be very happy to help understanding this problem.
Many thanks!

Can you attach a sample input file and also tell us with which application you have printed it? Can you also follow the instructions of "CUPS error_log" and "Capturing print job data" in https:/
