- From: Boris Barbour <boris.barbour@ens.fr>

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.11-1+b1
Severity: normal
n-up printing does not work correctly. Use of the -o number-up=2 option
(with the lpr command) causes two pages of the original document to be
printed in half the output sheet (as if n-up=4 had been chosen). If I use
-o number-up=4, the 4 pages are printed squashed into a quarter of the
sheet. From okular (where I first discovered the bug), if I change the page
order (from default LRTB to BTLR) 2-up printing then causes two full sheets
of paper with the original pages sizes to be printed. Changing to landscape
does not solve the problem in okular at least.
