I also have the same problem after installing Jaunty (using cups-pdf 2.5.0-1ubuntu1, cups 1.3.9-17ubuntu3). I only get graphics, no text, when printing to PDF from any program.

The PDF file size is not inordinately large, however. Exporting an OpenOffice file to PDF using the application's "Export to PDF" feature creates a file (with text properly embedded) of 198.0K. Printing the exact same file to PDF creates a file (with only image, and a garbled one at that, no text) of 38.2K; upping the dpi using printer output options only increases the file size by 0.2K, and the image still looks garbled.

Others have reported the same problem at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1153731.
