Landscape printing problem is bug in Poppler not cups-filters



Hi,

recently, you have applied a patch to Debian's cups-filters package to
solve a problem of printing Landscape-oriented pages. The bug report and
the origin of the patch is

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768811

The patch is only a workaround for a bug in Poppler, in the
implementation of the "-origpagesizes" option of the pdftops utility of
Poppler. THe patch for cups-filters simply drops the broken
"-origpagesizes" option, making printing of documents with varying page
sizes not working any more.

I have fixed Poppler now. See

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72312

and as with this "-origpagesizes" is working correctly now I have
changed the pdftops call in cups-filters to always use "-origpagesizes"
when the CUPS job is not sent with "-o fitplot" or "-o fit-to-page".

So please use my patch from the Poppler bug report in Debian's Poppler
package and use the cups-filters pdftops filter as of BZR rev. 7131 in
Debian.

   Till
