[STR Closed w/o Resolution]
A 3rd option is to try the Linux Adobe Reader (acroread) to generate the
Postscript, since both Ghostscript (gs) and Poppler (pdftops) seem to
crash your printer. Extract from the cups-filters-1.0.29 README:
1. Selection of the renderer: Ghostscript, Poppler, or Adobe Reader
Ghostscript has better color management and is generally optimized
more for printing. Poppler produces a PostScript which is
compatible with more buggy built-in PostScript interpreters of
printers and it leads to a somewhat quicker workflow when
graphical structures of the input PDF has to be turned into
bitmaps. Adobe Reader is the PDF renderer from Adobe, the ones
who created PDF and PostScript.
The selection is done by the "pdftops-renderer" option, setting it
to "gs", "pdftops", or "acroread":
Per-job: lpr -o pdftops-renderer=pdftops ...
Per-queue default: lpadmin -p printer -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs
Remove default: lpadmin -p printer -R pdftops-renderer-default
By default, pdftops uses Ghostscript if this does not get changed
at compile time, for example by the Linux distribution vendor.
I'm using a Konica Minolta BizHub C650 which doesn't like pdftops renderer
set to 'gs', but is okay with 'pdftops'. In /etc/cups/printers.conf I have
the following line for the printer :
Option pdftops-renderer pdftops
