Printing Acrobat documents

[Basil Fowler]

This is not totally relevant to the question posed but might give a clue.

I found that my Deskjet 690C was exceedingly slow printing certain documents 
with cups.  The problem was cured by changing the driver.  The slow driver 
was hpijs; changing to the cdj550 driver cured the problem.

Have a look in the Ghostscript files to see what is available.  You may have 
to change the file file /etc/cups/ppd/<your printer>.ppd by hand to install a 
new driver.  The appropriate lines are:

*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPA&&
USE -r300x300 -sDEVICE=cdj550%A%Z -sOutputFile=- -

I used the Mandrake - PrinterDrake utility to set up cups rather than the one 
provided by cups.  The choice of drivers was much better.

Hope this helps:
