[cups] [Brother MFC-8480DN] Printing Slow

[Stephan Graf]

Hi!
I am not sure, if it is the same issue, but in 2011 I investigated the
printing from CUPS to an HP2055. It took a couple of minutes to print a
scanned file (in PDF format).
Then I used an different PPD
(http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html).
the result was, that the printing was quit fast (10-20 seconds).
When I took a closer look to the difference between the original and the
new (HPLIP) PPD, I found this line:
        *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 hpcups"
This is the reason. CUPS will translate the PDF/PS via the hpcups filter
to an raster format file (HPGL?? I am not sure).

My conclusion was, that the HP Postscript interpreter is doing a bad job
and the solution is, that the CUPS Server has to do it (using hpcups
filter).

Greetings,
Stephan
