Adobe PPD specification version 4.3, page 102:
"The bounding box value of *Imageable Area is given as four real numbers..."
Whatever is not processing this right needs to be fixed. I am not sure it
is gutenprint, might be one of the ghostscripts for all I know. Please
reassign/clone the bug as necessary.
And whatever is not processing this right, it is going to break in at least
608 PPDs shipped by Debian (and I don't even have all PPD files installed,
just all the hpijs ones plus all the postscript printer ones from
linuxprinting.org). So it better get fixed ASAP.
