Problem is still here in Ubuntu 12.10 with cups-filters 1.0.24
In my case the printer is a postscript printer (hp3030). So I have to ask the question, WHY is the print system even calling ghostscript to interpret a postscript file when the printer is fully able to handle it for itself?
Simple test: Visit http://google.com/maps and print any street map.
On my system that takes 5-10 seconds under Windows 7 and several minutes under Ubuntu.
IMO this is a major Ubuntu workflow problem which really makes it difficult to get work done. I have to use a Windows VM to print documents with graphics, or even just a google map.
