Attached is my Poppler-based pdftops CUPS filter. This filter is a shell script which is equivalent in functionality with the pdftops filter of the upcoming CUPS package for Karmic.

Everyone, please test with this filter whether the Poppler-based pdftops filter solves your problems. Report any problem here and in the case of a problem, please attach an error_log following the instructions in the "CUPS error_log" section of

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems

To install the attached filter on your system, download the file and replace your /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops file by it. Make sure that the new file is executable, run the command

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops

if needed.

Should this break printing for you and you need to print urgently, run the command

sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups

to get back to the previous configuration.

If printing works for you with my filter, DO NOT reinstall CUPS, we need as much testing as possible.
