Comment 21 for bug 289852

I'm also affected by this, using Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 and an scx-4200 printer (with Samsung proprietary linux driver).
Using the improved filter from the post above, printing of images rich PDF seems a tad faster, but there is still quite a delay between the time the pages are sent and the time the printer starts to print them. The process 'gs' just sits at 100% CPU usage for minutes.
