This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-filters - 4.0.3-0ubuntu3

---------------
foomatic-filters (4.0.3-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/10_foomatic-rip-use-poppler-pdftops-with-cups.patch:
    CUPS manipulates $PATH when calling filters and this makes foomatic-rip
    calling CUPS' pdftops instead of Poppler's pdftops. This fails and so
    always the awkward Ghostscript/pswrite fallback is used, producing
    huge temporary PostScript files which the following process (driver
    or PostScript printer) renders very slowly or does not render at all
    due to excessive memory usage (LP: #463059).
