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.
