Till, thanks for that.

I have downloaded the Lucid Alpha nightly desktop ISO build from Jan 28th and installed it.
(This has taken a while because this is unstable on my PC - the graphical session keeps hanging)

I printed out the attached PDF to a Samsung CLP-300 (using monochrome, double-sided printing) and timed the process until page 1 & 3 have been printed. At this time the CPU drops, and the printer is ready for pages 2 & 4.

Karmic (fully patched) - 2 minutes, 45 seconds
Lucid (Alpha - 28th Jan nightly build) - 3 minutes

That is, the problem is not fixed in Lucid for me.
