I think this problem still exists in 12.04 Precise Pangolin Beta 1: When I try to print the attached document, Ghostscript runs at 100% on one CPU core (Intel core i5 2520) for ~10 minutes, taking sometimes more than 1GB RAM. The printing process is started from evince.
The printer is a Brother HL-2030 with the driver "Brother HL2030 for CUPS (grayscale, 2-sided printing)" (Ubuntu package brother-cups-wrapper-laser and brother-lpr-drivers-laser). The testpage prints fine.

If I try to print the same document with theFoomatic/hl1250 driver, printing works with pauses between pages, but often printing errors occur, which make this driver useless. Using the same driver in OpenSuse works perfectly, without any pauses between the pages!
