29637 - Size of file sent to printer is too large

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27962

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Printer Brand: NEC
Printer Model & Type: Silentwriter2 S60P
Printer Driver Version: lpr-0.35-1

Summary: 
Inflated postscript files are being sent to the printer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit the http://195.92.21.203/bin/query.exe/en
2. Try and print the page

Expected:
Should take no longer than 30 seconds to prepare print the page. File size
should be small.

Result:
The load hits the roof for around two minutes. When the load died down and I
looked at what was sitting in the printer queue I was shocked:
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
0 bytes
2nd    sits       118  (standard input)                      29156268 bytes

Printing the same page in Navigator produces a smaller size (without the load):
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active sits       120  (standard input)                      85254 bytes

The size of the images or the clipping push and pops can also have an effect.. 
The postscript dumped out is in response to what layout wants put on a page is 
not, nor are the commands for the vector output.
Soooo, this bug will be marked as a duplicate of 27962, which handles some 
memory issues with printing, images size, etc.  Image size increase is a known 
problem, the when printing an image is requested for the resolution of the 
printer.. instead of the printer scaling the image.  This is a big size 
increase.
