[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#507240: cupsys: pdftops filter does not respect page size

[Konrad Rosenbaum]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch5
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The pdftops backend in debians cups does not honour the page size of the PDF 
that is printed.

This results eg. in label printers printing unusable (empty or strangely 
formatted) labels and similar effects on other printers that use 
non-standard page sizes.

Cure: per default install a /etc/cups/pdftops.conf file that contains 
exactly this line:
psPaperSize match
