[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#399082: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops: Landscape printing works with pdftops from xpdf-utils but not with poppler-utils

[Silvestre Zabala]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
Tags: patch

Hello,

printing a landscape-orientied PDF works with pdftops from xpdf-utils
but with pdftops from poppler-utils (unstable and experimental) only the
part which fits on a portrait orientied page is printed.

Here is a diff of the outputs by pdftops:

I'm reporting this bug against cupsys because it's the package with
which I'm experiencing the problem, but it might be a bug in
poppler-utils. However before reassigning, a conflict against the current
version of poppler-utils might be warranted. 

Thank you,
  Silvestre
