Bug#805357: cups-pdf: Print job with multiple input files doesn't work
When sending multiple files in a single print job, the file passed to
the cups-pdf backend seems to contain all of the single files (converted
to PostScript) concatenated.
cups-pdf stops reading the input file after "the first PostScript file"
has been read.
The following patch disables that behaviour. After applying the patch,
printing multiple files works.
The patch is only meant to demonstrate this behaviour and should be
extended/improved in case it is meant to be included.
However, I do not know whether there are possibly other reasons to
explicitly stop processing the input file after "the first file" has
been processed.
It should also be mentioned that Ghostscript (which is used by cups-pdf)
is basically not meant for merging files, s.a.
