Maybe I will report my problem in a general Ubuntu support forum (as
ubuntuforums.org).Yes, this printer has already print papers successfully,
obviously. I think (but I may be wrong) it is this pdf who causes this...
No, it's an Canon printer. I've donwload a ppa named cnijfilter (
https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon).

Maybe I could suggest it to the QA team.

Yes, it was what I thought, Eye of Gnome is heavier. As computer where is
installed Lubuntu is old, I think I shoulnd't change the file manager.
Thank you for you comprehension ;)

Yes, of course, if I do something that works and I like, I will show you my
script !
As I said, I'm new user of Linux, and I've recently started to learn
programmation (Python in majority). But, it's a good way to learn much more
!
I will do it ;)

Thank you so much ;)
