Bug Description

I recently upgraded from 10.10 to 12.04 when cups-pdf was perfect now it's useless because of this. All the text printed to PDF is embedded as an image, as hence the text cannot be copied and it's like having a piece of paper.

Printing was done from both Firefox and Chromium.

Also printing takes longer an ghostscript gs process hits 100% cpu, this never happened with cups pdf in 10.10.
