Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
pdftopdf reaches 2GB (!) memory consumption when I try to print pdf documents with option 'multiple pages per sheet' enabled. It eventually succeeds, but swapping takes minutes, slowing any application down, and will fail on computers with less RAM.
Further notes:
- My printer is a HP DSC750
- Printing was started from evince
- Page ranges were also specified
- Ubuntu Karmic, generic kernel
- cups package up-to-date
