Re: Bug#712237: cups-server-common: The cost factor for pstops

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

I have now changed the cost factors of the filters which come with the
cups-filters package (in the upstream BZR repository, will be part of
cups-filters 1.0.35).

Now the cost factor of pstops in CUPS can stay 66, so the upstream
default does not need to be changed and with the new cost factors in
cups-filters awkward workflows like pstopdf->pdftopdf->pdftops or
pstopdf->pdftopdf->gstoraster are replaced by the simpler workflows
pstops or pstops->gstoraster, avoiding duplicate rendering.

If the input format is PDF nothing changes.
