Hm, why are you using this ppd file with cups-pdf? It doesn't
belong to cups-pdf (at least not to 2.4.6). When I installed
the cups-pdf printer, I used the PPD file that was supplied
with it; ie. /usr/share/cups/model/PostscriptColor.ppd. And
this works pretty fine.
Because it gives me a lot of options to control the output
quality of pdf files. I was especially interested in using the
CYMK and Grey color model options, and disabling font subsetting.
The options are:
Resolution in steps, from 72dpi to 4000dpi
The usual media sizes
PDF Color models: Grey, RGB, CMYK
PDF Settings: Screen, ebook, printer, prepress
PDF Color image compression: JPEG, Flate
PDF Grey image compression: JPEG, Flate
PDF monochrome image compression: FAX G3, Flate
PDF Compatibility: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4
PDF AutoRotate Pages: none, PageByPage, All
PDF EmbedAllFonts: Yes, No
PDF Subset Fonts: Yes, No
PDF Compress Pages: Yes, No
This are more or less the options which ghostscript accepts for
the conversion to pdf, and therefore can be seen as features of
the cups-pdf printer when running with ghostscript.
This options show up in some printer tools like gtklp.
There is nothing wrong with using the PostscriptColor.ppd which
comes with cups-pdf, as long as it works well for you and you
don't need any of the options above.
